Claim Text:
1. An expansion swage for expanding a tubular, comprising: an inner mandrel; a compliant member coupled to the inner mandrel; and a plurality of cone segments coupled to the compliant member, wherein the cone segments are configured to expand the tubular, wherein adjacent cone segments are separated by a gap that extends along a longitudinal length of the adjacent cone segments such that each end of each cone segment is separate from each end of each adjacent cone segment, wherein the compliant member is positioned between the inner mandrel and the cone segments, wherein the compliant member is configured to move the cone segments radially outward from a contracted position to an original position, and wherein the compliant member is configured to plastically deform in response to contact by the cone segments with the interior of the tubular when subjected to a stress above a threshold value.
