Flowforming is a net-shape cold-forming process that enables tight dimensional accuracies on diameters and wall thicknesses, while forming extremely straight and concentric parts. Thin-walled components with large length-to-diameter ratios are perfect for flowforming, Fig. 1. [FIGURE 1 OMITTED] To shape the part, a cylindrical preform is fitted over a rotating mandrel.
