Abstract

A rod material made of Ti alloy has a larger diameter portion at the end, which is joined with the end of material made of Ti—Al intermetallic compound, by friction welding, to form a poppet valve for an internal combustion engine. Instead of providing such larger diameter portion, the end of the material made of Ti—Al intermetallic compound may be heated to facilitate joining.
