A steel pipe is prepared, which contains, by mass, at most 0.009% C, at most 1.0% Mn, at most 1.0% Si, at most 0.04% P, at most 0.005% S, 0.01 to 0.2% Ti, 0.01 to 0.10% V, 0.001 to 0.1% Al, at most 0.1% N, 4.0 to 8.0% Ni, 9.0 to 15.0% Cr, and 1.5 to 7.0% Mo, the balance being Fe and impurities. The prepared steel pipe is bent into a bend pipe. The bend pipe is quenched at a quenching temperature lower than 950° C. The quenched bend pipe is tempered. Accordingly, the bend pipe in accordance with the present invention has excellent SSC resistance.
