	Successful tube hydroforming: Watching parameters, accurately simulating the process yield good results By: Taylan Altan and Suwat Jirathearanat, Contributing Writer A typical tube hydroforming system is shown in Figure 1. Within this system, a host of factors must be taken into account, from starting tube geometry and material properties to the quality of the final part (such as thickness distribution and dimensional accuracy).

	Hydroforming heats up: New techniques and equipment push industry forward By: Eric Lundin, Editor, TPJ-The Tube & Pipe Journal� Hydroforming was one of the fastest-growing metal forming technologies during the 1990s. Most of U.S. industry cooled down during and after the recession of 2001, but things have been heating up lately, and the world of hydroforming is no exception. The North American Hydroforming Conference and Exhibition (Sept. 29 – Oct. 1 in Dayton, Ohio), which was sponsored by the Tube & Pipe Association, International® (TPA), and the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME), showcased new techniques, equipment, and applications that are moving the industry forward.

	The importance of the n value in sheet forming By: Taylan Altan, Contributing Writer Strain hardening is represented by the exponent n in the flow stress equation, which approximates the relation between true stress and true strain during plastic deformation of a metal. The constant n plays a crucial role in sheet metal forming, and this brief article describes its effects. Publish date: October 11, 2001 Tech cell: Press Technology
	Experimenting with flexible blank holder force control: Prototype shows promise for difficult-to-form materials By: Leonid Shulkin, Jeffrey Rowan, Taylan Altan, and Gary L. Kinzel, Contributing Writers The quality of deep drawn sheet metal products is determined largely by the rate at which a sheet is drawn into a die. Varying blank holder force (BHF) as a function of time or the press stroke is of great importance. Publish date: July 12, 2001 Tech cell: Press Technology

	Using finite element analysis to roll-form tubes By: Karan Shah, Yingyot Aue-u-lan, and Taylan Altan, Contributing Writers Roll forming is a common method for producing steel tubes. It is a continuous process in which a strip is guided through several sets of rolls that form the strip into the desired shape. After the final shape is achieved, tube edges are welded together to form a closed section. After the welding operation, the tube is sized through another set of rolls to obtain the required diameter. Publish date: October 9, 2003 Tech cell: Tube and Pipe Fabrication
	Structural tube on campus: Aluminum bridge spans science departments Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Wash., is known for its strong science programs. "Flying Bridge," a structure designed by artist and sculptor Ed Carpenter, physically and metaphorically spans the biology and chemistry departments in the university's new Dean Science Building. Carpenter, who designed the bridge with engineering consultation from Peterson Structural Engineers Inc., teamed up with Albina Pipe Bending Co. Inc. to tackle the project's material bending and fabrication requirements. Publish date: January 13, 2004 Tech cell: Tube and Pipe Fabrication
