Abstract
The increasing significance of lightweight construction concepts requires innovative and adapted production technologies and process chains for the manufacturing of complex parts made of typical lightweight materials. The feasibility and potential of such a process chain consisting of the steps Bending - Electromagnetic compression (EMC) Hydroforming is shown in the present paper on the basis of a demonstrator part similar to a structural component from the automotive industry. Here, special focus is put on the requirements on the production steps and the workpiece properties. Furthermore, the development and testing of EMC-equipment that is optimally adapted to the special forming task is described.
