ABSTRACT:
Hollow bodies such as construction elements for vehicle manufacture can be produced by forming a preform in the form of a longitudinal body or sheets of aluminum or its alloys by means of a high internal pressure process or by superplastic forming in a tool. In this process the preform is heat treated locally before forming, on places of high elongation during the forming process and/or the tool for the forming process is equipped with local surface characteristics of different friction such as roughness patterns or with smoothed surfaces.
