A forging blank (56) of a forging nickel-base superalloy is forged in a forging press (40) having forging dies (52,54) made of a die nickel-base superalloy. The forging is accomplished by heating the forging blank (56) to a forging-blank starting temperature of from about 1010 DEG C (1850 DEG F) to about 1060 DEG C (1950 DEG F), heating the forging dies (52,54) to a forging-die starting temperature of from about 810 DEG C (1500 DEG F) to about 950 DEG C (1750 DEG F), placing the forging blank (56) into the forging press (40) and between the forging dies (52,54), and forging the forging blank (56) at the forging-blank starting temperature using the forging dies (52,54) at the forging-die starting temperature, to produce a forging (58). <IMAGE> |
