Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A piercer plug with increased recyclability is provided. A piercer plug ( 1 ) has a chemical composition of, in mass %: 0.15 to 0.30% C; 0.4 to 1.2% Si; 0.2 to 1.5% Mn; 0.1 to 2.0% Ni; 0 to 4.0% Mo and 0 to 4.0% W, where the total content of Mo and W is 1.0 to 6.0%; higher than 1.0% and not higher than 4.0% Cr; 0 to 0.2% B; 0 to 1.0% Nb; 0 to 1.0% V; 0 to 1.0% Ti; and balance Fe and impurities, the plug including a tip portion ( 2 ) and a trunk portion ( 3 ) made of the same material as the tip portion ( 2 ) and contiguous to the tip portion ( 2 ). The trunk portion ( 3 ) includes a cylindrical portion ( 5 ) having a hole used to mount a bar. The tip portion ( 2 ) is harder than the cylindrical portion ( 5 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A piercer plug having a chemical composition of, in mass %: 0.15 to 0.30% C; 0.4 to 1.2% Si; 0.2 to 1.5% Mn; 0.1 to 2.0% Ni; 0 to 4.0% Mo and 0 to 4.0% W, where a total content of Mo and W is 1.0 to 6.0%; higher than 1.0% and not higher than 4.0% Cr; 0 to 0.2% B; 0 to 1.0% Nb; 0 to 1.0% V; 0 to 1.0% Ti; and balance Fe and impurities, the plug comprising: a tip portion; and a trunk portion made of the same material as the tip portion and contiguous to the tip portion, the trunk portion including a cylindrical portion having a hole used to mount a bar, the tip portion being harder than the cylindrical portion. 2 . The piercer plug according to claim 1 , further comprising: a protective layer formed on a surface of the piercer plug, wherein the protective layer includes at least one of a sprayed coating and a build-up layer. 3 . A method of manufacturing a piercer plug, comprising the steps of: preparing a piercer plug having a chemical composition of, in mass %: 0.15 to 0.30% C; 0.4 to 1.2% Si; 0.2 to 1.5% Mn; 0.1 to 2.0% Ni; 0 to 4.0% Mo and 0 to 4.0% W, where a total content of Mo and W is 1.0 to 6.0%; higher than 1.0% and not higher than 4.0% Cr; 0 to 0.2% B; 0 to 1.0% Nb; 0 to 1.0% V; 0 to 1.0% Ti; and balance Fe and impurities, the plug including a tip portion and a trunk portion made of the same material as the tip portion and contiguous to the tip portion; and heating the piercer plug in such a manner that the tip portion is at a temperature not lower than an A C3 point and a cylindrical portion of the trunk portion having a hole used to mount a bar is at a temperature below the A C3 point. 4 . The method of manufacturing a piercer plug according to claim 3 , further comprising: before the step of heating, the step of forming a protective layer on a surface of the piercer plug, wherein the protective layer includes at least one of a sprayed coating and a build-up layer.
