What is the purpose of tube flaring?

Which tools are used to enlarge and sewage the end of the copper tubing?
What are Swaging Tools? Swaging tools use pressure to expand or stretch the end of a piece of copper tubing so it can fit over another of the same diameter and make a permanent brazed connection.
What is the difference between a flare for an R 410A system and an R 22 system?
R-410A is actually more efficient at absorbing heat then R-22. 410A operates at a much higher pressure than R-22, between fifty to sixty percent higher. To accommodate this increased pressure the compressors and other components are built to withstand the greater stress.
Can I use a double flare instead of a bubble flare?
