First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A piercer plug comprising: a tip portion; and a trunk portion made of the same material as the tip portion and continuous to the tip portion, wherein the trunk portion includes a cylindrical portion having a hole used for attaching a bar, and the tip portion is harder than the cylindrical portion. 2 . The piercer plug according to claim 1 , further comprising: a coating formed on a surface of the piercer plug. 3 . A method of manufacturing a piercer plug, the method comprising: preparing a piercer plug including a tip portion and a trunk portion made of the same material as the tip portion and continuous to the tip portion; and heating the piercer plug such that a temperature of the tip portion is not lower than an austenite transformation temperature and a temperature of a cylindrical portion included in the trunk portion and having a hole used for attaching a bar is lower than the austenite transformation temperature. 4 . The method of manufacturing a piercer plug according to claim 3 , further comprising: forming a coating on a surface of the piercer plug before the heating.
