Abstract

A method of forging a solid flanged head on a hollow steel tube by positioning a cylindrical steel plug within a steel tube of the same grade, and extending said positioned cylindrical plug beyond the end of the tube, thereafter heating the end of the tube and plug beyond the critical temperature of the steel material, and thereafter forging the softened material so that a solid steel head is formed which extends beyond the continuous wall of the steel tube.
