TL;DR Summary

Need to calculate the force required to flange a cylinder outwards around the perimeter by approx. 5mm.
Cylinder is either Aluminum or standard Mild Steel.

Welcome to PF.

What do you mean by "flange a cylinder outwards"?
Maybe a drawing might help.

Do you think the cylinder diameter, or the wall thickness, might influence the force required?

Will the material be hot or cold?

Welcome!

Do you know how to calculate the cross-section area of metal that needs to be taken to the plastic condition at once, including the stretching of the forming flange?

If you do, the rest of the calculation should only need knowing the yield strength of the material, and assuming the amount of friction between the press die and the flowing metal.

Please, see:

Hello,

Here are some drawings of the flange required. Material is cold.
Aluminum - 1mm thick
or MS - 0.50mm thick.
