It is found that the Bauschinger effect does not exist in the pipe product, while the work hardening effect introduced by pipe-making is the direct cause of the mechanical changes. The prestrain introduced during different pipe-making processes are accumulative to the work hardening effect. And the increment of the yield strength for making Ф 244.48 × 8.94 pipe is approximately 45 MPa, higher than that of hot-rolled plates.
