摘要:
A method for manufacturing a one-piece axle tube housing with localized sections of increased wall thickness includes providing a tube blank, inserting a mandrel having a reduced diameter profile, passing the tube through an extrusion die to conform the tube to the shape of the mandrel; and extraction of the mandrel from the tube to cause outward deformation of the tube at specific locations. A further reducing step may be used to form the final desired profile, including reduced inner and outer diameters along sections of the axle tube housing.

摘要:
A method for forming a tubular structural member includes the steps of cold forming a tube blank to have a longitudinally variable but circumferentially constant wall thickness (t1, t2, t3) and forming the blank into the desired structural member. Preferably, the forming step involves hydroforming.
