Improving the Reliability of the Tube-Hydroforming Process by the Taguchi Method

The tube-hydroforming process has undergone extremely rapid development. To ensure a reliable hydroforming process at the design stage, applying robust design methodologies becomes crucial to the success of the resulting process. The reliability of the tube-hydroforming process based on the tube wall thickness thinning ratio is studied in this paper. In order to improve the reliability of the process, the Taguchi method, which is capable of …
