Abstract: The present invention discloses a modified process of die manufacturing which substantially improves the wear life of the dies. The process consists of introduction of shot blasting operation after the machining operation and before the nitrocarburising operation. The process increases the case depth of the surface hardened layer thereby increasing the wear life of the hot forging dies. Gaseous Ferritic Nitrocarburising (GFN) process is carried out on die steel material for increasing the surface hardness. Performance of the surface hardening process depends on surface preparation and its treatment. Surface preparation entails modifying roughness and residual stresses on the surface. The shot blasting step of the invented process introduces uniform roughness and compressive residual stresses on the surface, which helps to increase the hardening depth during GFN.
