Abstract
The present invention is directed to provide a method for manufacturing a die for press forming of glass in which cracks are not easily caused in a surface covering layer. A surface covering layer made of an amorphous Ni—P alloy is formed on the surface of a base material made of a steel having a martensitic structure or made of steel in which ε-carbide is dispersed in low carbon martensite matrix. Then, the base material and the surface covering layer are heated to change the base material into a troostitic structure or a sorbitic structure and change the surface covering layer into a eutectic structure of Ni and NiP. Preferably, the base material contains 0.3 wt % or more and 2.7 wt % or less of carbon and 13 wt % or less of chromium, and the heat treatment is carried out at 270° C. or more.
