1. A method for manufacturing a seamless pipe, comprising the steps of:
- (a) preparing a billet made of an alloy steel or an alloy having a main component selected from the group consisting of Cr, Ni and Mo;
(b) joining a steel plate at least to an end surface of the billet at which a piercing of the billet is to be commenced;
(c) preparing a piercing plug, the piercinc plug comprising (i) a main body made of Mo, a Mo alloy or a heat resisting steel and (ii) a hard laver formed on the surface of the main body, wherein said hard layer is made of any one selected from the group consisting of stellite, a ceramic obtained by adding tungsten carbide to stellite, a ceramic obtained by adding a mixture composition of tungsten carbide and cobalt to stellite and a ceramic obtained by adding a compound of chromium and carbon to stellite;
(d) hot-piercing the billet at a hot-piercing temperature, to which the steel plate is Joined, with the piercing plug by a Mannesmann piercing to produce a hollow shell, an oxide scale being formed from said steel plate, at the hot-piercing temperature, the oxide scale lubricating the piercing plug during the hot-piercing; and
(e) rolling the hollow shell to produce a seamless pipe.
