摘要:
A method of forming a cold diametrally reducing roll for metal pipe and a metal pipe formed by the method; the method, characterized by comprising the steps of pre-forming an original pipe formed of a metal pipe to a metal pipe having an elliptic, elongated, or rectangular cross section by a pre-forming roll and forming the pre-formed metal pipe by diametrally reducing the outer peripheral length thereof to less than the outer peripheral length of the original pipe while re-forming the cross sectional shape of the pre-formed metal pipe to a circular shape or the other cross sectional shape different from the cross sectional shape of the pre-formed metal pipe by using a cold diametrally reducing roll disposed on the downstream side of the pre-formed roll.
