Extension of the formability

 Sub-project 1: Ext. of the formability by using heat within the process chain

 Sub-project 2: Hot forming of ferritic tubular parts using shapeless solids

 Focus of the project is increasing the formability of hydroformed parts by using heat. There are two strategies: first, the heat is inserted into the process chain in such a way that intermediate annealing is used  between the forming steps. Further, the heat is used directly during the forming procedure. Here, shapeless solids are used as an alternative to the fluidic forming medium of hydroforming.
