Abstract
A method has acts of providing a blank of head, providing a reinforcement element, combining the blank of head and the reinforcement element, and co-forging. The blank of head is made of a material having a hardness ranging from HRB50 to HRB105 measured by Rockwell Hardness Test and being softer than HRB105 and has a recess. The reinforcement element is made of a material having a hardness ranging from HRC15 to HRC55 measured by Rockwell Hardness Test. The reinforcement element is put into the recess in the blank of head, and an inner surface of the recess and the reinforcement element are combined securely with each other completely by a welding process. The blank of head combined with the reinforcement element is put into a mold, is heated to 700° C. to 1100° C., and is applied with a co-forging process to form an eutectic bonding by thermocompression.
