Major Technical Characters
　　I. ? During the forming process, the deformation of the plate is very uniform and the residual stress is very low and there is less scratch on the surface. The production range on the wall thickness and pipe diameter is very flexible. For the high strength material with small pipe diameter and heavy wall thickness this process has more advantages than other pipe production process. More requirements on the product range from customers can be met.
　　Ⅱ. The welding can be performed at an optimal position so the welding quality is easy to control because the inside welding and outside welding are performed after the tack welding. The welding defects such as the offset, deflection and lack of penetration are very seldom to occur.
　　Ⅲ. The full-length mechanical expansion of the pipe can effectively increase dimension precision and improve the internal stress distribution of the steel pipes, thus avoid damage due to stress corrosion. The expanded pipes are very convenient for site application.
　　Ⅳ.The automatic on-line NDT test, composing of PID control automation, on-line automatic UT and RT nondestructive testing 100% control system guarantees the product quality maximum.
