description The paper presents numerical modelling and an operational experiment to forge a slab ingot P40N from 55NiCrMoV7 tool steel and the procedure for the optimization of its production. The aim of the numerical simulation of forging was to verify the existing procedure of forging a plate from a conventional polygonal 8K forging ingot and a slab ingot with a polygonal shape of P40N surfaces. The effect of the shape of the ingot on the achievement of the required forging reduction and strain after the cross section of the forging of the plate, with final dimensions of approximately 1010 mm width × 310 mm thickness × 5350 mm length, was studied. The results obtained in the operational experiment showed satisfactory qualitative parameters of the steel forging from the slab P40N ingot which were in accordance with the predicted results of numerical simulations. The results indicated that in selected cases the use of a slab P40N ingot instead of the conventional polygonal 8K forging ingot can be considered in the production of certain plate-type forgings.
