  • Patent number: 11331703
    Abstract: A piercer plug with increased life and a method of manufacturing it are provided. The piercer plug 1 includes a tip portion 2 and a trunk portion 3 made of the same material as the tip portion 2 and continuous to the tip portion 2. The trunk portion 3 includes a cylindrical portion 5 having a hole used for attaching a bar. The tip portion 2 is harder than the cylindrical portion 5.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11305320
    Abstract: A method for producing a seamless metal pipe includes the steps of: preparing a billet having a diameter (B); heating the billet; forming, in a center part of a rear end of the heated billet, a hole including four grooves extending in an axial direction of the billet, the grooves each having a groove width (D) satisfying Formula (1), a groove height (H) satisfying Formula (2), and a groove depth (L1) satisfying Formula (3); and subjecting the billet provided with the hole to piercing-rolling from a front end thereof by means of a piercing machine. By this means, the generation of burrs and internal defects at the rear end of a hollow shell after piercing-rolling can be suppressed. 0.12?D/B?0.25??(1) 0.10?H/B?0.20??(2) 0.05?L1/B?0.

  • Patent number: 10888906
    Abstract: A piercer plug having good base-material deformation resistance is provided. A method of manufacturing a piercer plug (10) includes the steps of; preparing a plug body (1) including a tip portion (11) and a cylindrical portion (12) having a hole (121) usable to attach a bar and located rearward of the tip portion (11); forming a build-up layer (2) on the surface of the tip portion (11); and heating the plug body (1) such that the temperature of the tip portion (11) with the build-up layer (2) formed thereon is not lower than the austenite transformation temperature and the temperature of the cylindrical portion (12) is lower than the austenite transformation temperature.
