Automotive New In tube end forming practices -- Can I downsize and then upsize a pipe end?

AI Thread Summary
In tube end forming practices, it is feasible to first downsize a pipe with a diameter of 55 OD to 50.6 ID and then upsize it by 1mm at the same end, using Ferritic Steel with a wall thickness of 0.9mm. The transition radius of 8mm is appropriate for this process. Participants in the discussion confirmed the possibility and encouraged sharing additional resources for further information. A link to relevant tools and dies for end forming was provided for reference. This method can be effectively executed with the right techniques and equipment.

In tube end forming practices, is it possible to first reduce the diameter of the pipe (tube 0.9mm thick) and then expand it, at the same end, by about 1mm in total, with a transistion radius of 8mm ?
Please see attached image. Though it might be exaggerated, but the image should suffice.
I want to know the feasibility of it.
Material is Ferritic Steel. Of diameter 55 OD. The sizing is
1: Reducing to 50.6 ID and then
2. Expanding by 1mm diametrically.

Thank You.

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
TL;DR Summary: Heard in the news about using sonar to locate the sub Hello : After the sinking of the ship near the Greek shores , carrying of alot of people , there was another accident that include 5 tourists and a submarine visiting the titanic , which went missing Some technical notes captured my attention, that there us few sonar devices are hearing sounds repeated every 30 seconds , but they are not able to locate the source Is it possible that the sound waves are reflecting from...
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
