Embodiment Construction
[0021] The present invention is illustrated with respect to a method for molding a component, particularly suited to the automotive field. The present invention is, however, applicable to various other uses that may require hydroformed components, as will be understood by one skilled in the art.
[0022] Referring to FIGS. 1a, 1b, and FIG. 2, a dual conical tube 14 for use in a hydroforming method 10, including a substantially bow tie shaped blank 12, is disclosed. The blank 12 is adapted to be rolled to form the dual conical tube 14. The blank 12 is here illustrated as a substantially bow tie shaped blank 12, however, it is to be understood that numerous alternate blank shapes may be used depending on specific part parameters, as one skilled in the art would realize.
[0023] The substantially bow tie shaped blank 12 is reinforced, depending on material and tensile requirements for the blank 12 prior to the rolling and forming processes, as will be discussed later. Alternate embodiment...
