The paper deals with comparison of forging technology and selected forming factors on structure of the tool steel EN X160CrMoV12-1. Steel under investigation is a high-alloyed Cr-Mo-V tool steel for exploitation both in hot and cold conditions. The steel is characterised by difficult formability and high resistance to deformation in the whole range of the forging temperatures. The authors compare the structure of forged rods with a diameter of 250 mm, forged products on the radial forging machines with second one forged on hydraulic press CKW 1600.
