ABSTRACT:
A method allowing for the fabrication of tubular structures, such as structural members used in vehicle bodies, from two or more metals or other materials using a hydroforming process. Being able to use two or more metals or other materials, such as, for example, high-strength steel and low-weight aluminum alloy, in body structure design allows for achieving an optimum material solution which combines the desirable attributes of the different materials.
