An accurate springback compensation method for sheet hydroforming component based on liquid volume control is related to a springback compensation method for curved surface part hydroformed with liquid as a punch during deep drawing process. According to the difference between a theoretical volume and a post-springback volume of a target part, an elastic deformation of the die is induced by liquid pressure, the die deformation amount is controlled to be equal to the springback amount. The accurate springback compensation control of a curved surface part is realized to overcome the problems of thickness or mechanical properties variations for different batches of sheets, and the manufacture error of the mould is considered to meet the design requirements. The liquid volume compensation is on-line and in-situ performed without mould re-machining. The advantages is good precision, simple process, high efficiency, short cycle and low cost.

Disclosed is an ultra-low temperature medium pressure forming method for complex curved-shaped components. The method includes steps of distributing a blank by die closing preforming and forming the complex curved-shaped components by ultra-low temperature medium pressurization, comprising: placing a plate on a female die and tightly pressing the plate by a blank holder; driving a male die to move downwards to make the plate distribute the blank in advance in a large-area mode, thus forming a prefabricated plate blank; filling a cavity with an ultra-low temperature medium to make the prefabricated plate blank be gradually attached to a molded surface of a female die cavity under the pressure action of the ultra-low temperature medium, and thereby forming the complex curved-shaped component; and removing the male die blank holder and taking out the formed complex curved-shaped component.

A method for shaping a blank comprising a metal includes a step of loading the blank onto a first die, a step of bringing the first die and a second die together, a step of forming a seal around the blank, and a step of injecting a pressurized molten salt into a space in the blank to supply a hydraulic pressure to the blank.
