ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are provided for isostatically bulge forming tube stock. The tube is assembled in sealing arrangement with a split die. The assembly is placed in a pressure vessel wherein an non-compressible fluid is pressurized to form the tube into the die cavities. Because the force on the tooling is compressive in nature, relatively low strength, low cost tools may be used.
