By using hydrostatic pressure, complicated bodies from high-alloyed, corrosion-resistant steel tubes and sheets can be produced. Required for this procedure are a split die, the generation and introduction, into the mould, of pressure and a device for dynamically locking the tools.

The high elongation values of these materials are particularly suitable for this new forming technology. The forming process results in high-precision, reproducible components with a high increase of stability. Forms that were previously impossible to fabricate are now suitable for large-scale series production.
