When a hollow billet is inserted into a container, and hot expanding piercing is downwardly performed by using a plug, hot piercing is performed by using a formed glass complex comprising a ring-shaped formed glass part and a ring-shaped projecting part. The ring-shaped formed glass part assumes a disc shape having a circular opening for allowing a plug to be inserted at the center thereof. The ring-shaped projecting part is attached to the opening of the ring-shaped formed glass part, and assumes a ring shape projecting perpendicularly to the ring-shaped formed glass part. Thereby, the piercing work can be done safely, and defects can be prevented from occurring on the inner surface of the billet.

A starting material to be extruded made of a high alloy comprising, in mass %, Cr: 20 to 30% and Ni: more than 22% and 60% or less is heated to a temperature predetermined according to the contents of Mo and W and is subjected to a hot-extrusion process, the heating temperature T (&#xb0; C.) satisfying a relationship of Formula (1), (2), or (3), which is expressed in terms of the average cross-sectional area A (mm) of the starting material to be extruded, the extrusion ratio EL (&#x2212;), and the extrusion speed V (mm/s). As a result, a high-alloy seamless tube can be produced without generating cracking and/or seam flaws.When 0%&#x2266;Mo+0.5W&#x3c;4%:&#x2266;1343&#x2212;0.001322&#xd7;&#x2212;1.059&#xd7;&#x2212;0.129&#xd7;&#x2003;&#x2003;(1)When 4%&#x2266;Mo+0.5W&#x3c;7%:&#x2266;1316&#x2212;0.001322&#xd7;&#x2212;1.059&#xd7;&#x2212;0.129&#xd7;&#x2003;&#x2003;(2)When 7%&#x2266;Mo+0.5W:&#x2266;1289&#x2212;0.001322&#xd7;&#x2212;1.059&#xd7;&#x2212;0.129&#xd7;&#x2003;&#x2003;(3)
