The invention discloses a method for manufacturing large cake forgings of high-carbon and high-
chromium cold working die steel. The method is characterized by comprising the following steps of: obtaining Cr12MoV or Cr12Mo1V1 steel by adopting primary
smelting with an electric furnace,
ladle refining and vacuum degassing process
smelting; pouring the tapped steel to form a 6 to 9t octangular
ingot; conveying the octangular
ingot to a press at the temperature of more than or equal to 300 DEG C,
forging the octangular
ingot to a blank with the
diameter of 300 to 700 millimeters, removing surface defects by annealing,
polishing or turning and local
grinding, performing
cold saw cutting on the end face and blanking to form a cake blank; and heating the cake blank to the temperature of between 1,150 and 1,190 DEG C, upsetting and
forging the cake blank by using the press, annealing and turning, and thus obtaining the large cake forgings of the high-carbon and high-
chromium cold working die steel. By adopting the method, the yield is improved to 40 to 60 percent; and the manufactured large cake forgings of the high-carbon and high-
chromium cold working die steel can comprehensively meet the requirements of
hardness,
impact toughness and the like and ultrasonic flaw detection quality.
