HydroForming with a Pressure Washer - Setting up/testing

Hydroforming is a great way to form bends,cones and other odd shapes using just water pressure from an ordinary garden pressure washer.
This video shows how to adapt the hose from the washer and tests out what shapes work and what doesn't.

[@supersportimpalass]

I've read that it works much better if you fold the edges over first at the seams instead of welding the pieces when they are completely flat. This creates a flatter surface at the weld seam and a nicer overall part.

[@colinfurze]

but surely is way more time consuming

[@atomicrc5189]

Aidan Taylor I've done it it's funny as he'll when you hear a thunk

[@mikeselectricstuff]

Could you make a mould out of wood or concrete and form into it? Maybe ali rather than steel Prank idea - steel pillow, cloth cover, leave on a sofa in Ikea...

[@killernoob756]

Would not expect to see you around here.

[@killernoob756]

I think making something like a die with 2 blocks of steel. One will have a negative of what you what to form, and the other side with an open space to have the water pressure to build. Get a sheet of steel, put it in between the 2 blocks of steel and then clamp it all down.

[@birminghamreefer2733]

yes you can use forms, and different alloys.

[@Chwyn]

don't forget to fill it with concrete or lead so they cant get rid of it.

[@Speyde]

If you weld a submarine, i don't wanna dive with it xD

[@colinfurze]

i use a tig on the future ones but most people only own migs so wanted to show it with that and my mig welding is not so good

[@Speyde]

colinfurze I thought that most people have electrode welder and that is a challange I prefer mig, I found it very easy...

[@butre.]

it's not easy to do airtight welds with anything that isn't a tig, but a good tip I figured out is that you can put down your nasty booger welds with your mig, flux core, or stick welder, and then run some JB Weld over the joint to make it nice and airtight. It's a great alternative to spending $1200 on a tig welder or an hour making a little piece of intake tubing airtight

[@TheWireEDM]

春日歩 Or just learn to weld properly. MIG/MAG is by far the hardest thing to learn to do properly, so people futz around with stick and gas as they provide much easier way of doing a good weld, though it still needs practice.

[@butre.]

I use the stick mode almost exclusively on my machine because it's not sensitive to paint, surface rust, or galvanization you often find on reclaimed metals, or the mill scale you find on new metal

[@JaapvanderVelde]

While on the topic of safety glasses, make sure you are using current "non expired" glasses that are rated for whatever you are doing. If you're using 15 year old glasses, chanced are that the plastic is worn out beyond the point of being helpful. They'll just shatter if anything with moderate force contacts them.
