ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a method of forming hollow, box-section, frame members which include localized reinforcement. The frame members are produced by fitting a sleeve about a tube, deforming the tube and sleeve to avoid the occurrence of frictional drag in a final die, and then expanding the tube and sleeve in a final die to form the hollow, box-section, frame member. The expansion is achieved by application of an internal pressure within the tube.
