About the friction problem during expanding process of expandable tubular, current literature hadn't focused on the factors which impact coefficient factors but the friction coefficient has obvious effect on the expanding process. Based on plastic formation feature during expanding process, the constitute of friction force was analyzed; the factors impacting friction coefficient such as tubular material, expansion rate, state of expanding cone surface and expandsion ratio, and so on, were discussed; a friction force model of expanding process was built and a N80 expanding solid tubular finite model was use to verify the influence of friction coefficient during expansion process. From the finite model, the equivalent stress contour plot of friction coefficient 0.1,0.15,0.2,0.25,0.3 was obtained. Conclusion could be made by analyzing the equivalent stress contour plot that the plow appears in the expandable tubular at friction coefficient 0.25 or above, but the plow doesn't appear when friction coefficient is below 0.25.The result calculated by finite element method is consistent with actual situation of expanding process that the plow appears at high friction coefficient. Conclusion can be drawn that factors effecting the expansion technology in designing should be considered to reduce the friction coefficient.
