Hydroformed components from low-carbon steel tubes have become more common in doday's vehicles, especially in truck frames and engine cradles. In addition to reducing the weight of a vehicle tube hydroforming allows for increased strength and stiffness, parts consolidation, and cost reduction. 2, record 2, English, - hydroforming

L'hydroformage [permet de] transformer des tubes en des profilés complexes. [...] Les composants hydroformés à partir de tubes d'acier à faible teneur en carbone sont maintenant utilisés plus souvent dans la construction des véhicules automobiles et tout particulièrement dans les châssis des camions et les bâtis moteurs. En plus de réduire le poids des véhicules, l'hydroformage des tubes accroît la résistance mécanique et la rigidité, permet une consolidation des pièces et réduit les coûts. 3, record 2, French, - hydroformage
