This link will give you approximate blank diameter for forming elliptical dished end. The area of the blank is the area of the elliptical head.

If the blank thins during the forming, won't the area increase? How big is this effect?


Good luck,

Yes, good point indeed. Generally thinning will be about 1/16" (maximum)upto 1/2" thickness. So there may be a 10% increase in the area.
