You might want to look into flow forming.

All,
Does anyone have a recommendation for a shop (preferably in the Southern
California area) that can machine aluminum pipe (modify OD & ID and make
round)?
I want to take a 24” length of 8” diameter 6061-T6 pipe and machine the OD
to 7.708” with the wall thickness at 0.300”. A local shop wants to lathe
it from both ends, but cannot guarantee there will be a step in the middle.
Thanks in advance,
