This study presents an analysis of degradation mechanisms of a forging die used in the hot forging process of counterweight forgings. The investigated tool was made of hot-work X37CrMoV5-1 (1.2343) tool steel. The study was aimed at identifying the dominant degradation mechanisms of a hot forging die insert made of 1.2343 steel used under industrial conditions and correlating those mechanisms with the microstructure, hardness distribution, and operational thermal loading. The research methodology included macroscopic and microscopic examinations of the die working surface, microstructural analysis using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and fracture surface investigations. Analysis of these degradation mechanisms provides critical insights into improving tool performance and longevity in manufacturing processes.
