Abstract
Flow-forming is an innovative, chip less metal forming process used to manufacture thin walled seamless tubes and other axi-symmetric components. Experiments were conducted to form annealed AA6082 alloy tubular pre-forms into thin walled seamless tubes on CNC flow forming machine with a single roller. The process parameters selected for the present investigation are roller radius, mandrel speed, roller feed, thickness reduction, etc. The characteristics of flow formed tube chosen are ovality, mean diameter, thickness variation, surface finish, etc. The effects of these process parameters on the dimensional characteristics and surface quality of flow formed tubes have been studied. The optimum process parameters are proposed to manufacture the tubes with good dimensional characteristics and sound surface quality. It has been found that, roller radius of 4 to 8 mm, thickness reduction ranging from 30 to 35%, mandrel speed of 150 rpm and roller feed in the range of 100 to 130 mm/min formed the tubes with sound characteristics. Key words: Flow-forming, AA6082 alloy, ovality, mean diameter, surface quality.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
