Abstract

A piercing plug includes a plug main body, and a sprayed coating which is formed on a surface of the plug main body and includes iron and iron oxide. A chemical composition of the sprayed coating includes, in addition to the iron and the iron oxide, by mass %, C: 0.015% to 0.6%, Si: 0.05% to 0.5%, Mn: 0.1% to 1.0%, and Cu: 0 to 0.3%.

Claims (23)

1. A piercing plug comprising:

a plug main body which is tapered off toward a tip; and

a sprayed coating which is formed on a surface of the plug main body, the sprayed coating consisting of the following chemical composition:

by mass %,

C: 0.015% to 0.6%,

Si: 0.05% to 0.5%,

Mn: 0.1% to 1.0%, and

Cu: 0 to 0.3%.

and a balance composed of iron, iron oxide, and impurities, at least one impurity selected from the group consisting of P, S, or O.

2. The piercing plug according to claim 1 ,

wherein a content of C in the chemical composition of the sprayed coating is 0.2% to 0. 6%.

3. The piercing plug according to claim 1 or 2 ,

wherein a content of Cu in the chemical composition of the sprayed coating is 0.05% to 0. 3%.

4. A manufacturing method of a piercing plug including a plug main body which is tapered off toward a tip, and a sprayed coating which is formed on a surface of the plug main body, the manufacturing method comprising:

a process of forming the sprayed coating on the surface of the plug main body by arc-spraying a steel wire rod on the surface of the plug main body,

wherein a chemical composition of the steel wire rod includes, by mass %,

C: 0.06% to 1.1%,

Si: 0.4% to 1.3%,

Mn: 0.2% to 2.0%,

Cu: 0 to 0.5%, and

Fe.

5. The manufacturing method of a piercing plug according to claim 4 ,

wherein a content of Cu in the chemical composition of the steel wire rod is 0.05% to 0.5%.
