Provided are: a closed-die forging method capable of preventing a temperature decrease in a to-be-forged member during forging, easy temperature monitoring during forging, and causing cavity end portions of a die to be filled with the to-be-forged member; and a method of manufacturing a forged article using the closed-die forging method. The closed-die forging method, which involves placing a heated to-be-forged member on a lower die and hammer-forging the to-be-forged member with a reciprocating upper die, includes covering the whole of a portion of the to-be-forged member that contacts the lower die with a metal heat-insulation member prior to forging, except for at least a part of a portion that contacts an upper die during forging, and then forging the to-be-forged member integrally with the metal heat-insulation member. Preferably, the to-be-forged member is a high heat resistance alloy and the metal heat-insulation member is stainless steel. Further preferably, the to-be-forged member is forged into a disc shape. The method of manufacturing a forged article includes heat-treating a forged material obtained by the closed-die forging method at temperatures not lower than recrystallization temperature. |
