ABSTRACT:
A reinforced hydraulically expanded flow channel (18) is disclosed which prevents the width of the hydraulically expanded flow channel (18) from changing. This reduces the strain rate in the high strain area next to the welds (16). After the hydraulic expansion process, the ends (20, 22) of the hydraulically expanded flow channel (18) are restrained by a rigid structure (24) such as a tubular member (28). When a tubular member (28) is employed, additional support is provided opposite the desired heat transfer surface (26).
