Developed on the basis of the pilot and industrial work results, a process flow for the production of mono-block plates with 7600x7600x360 mm dimensions from a 290-ton ingot for subsequent 15H2NMFA steel bottom stamping, was carried out. A practical implementation of the developed procedure for the bottom production from mono-block large-sized plates was made. The basic technology for the mono-block plate production was applied in the conditions of Izhorskiye Zavody, OJSC and Atommash, OJSC, this technology provides for a minimum amount of reconstruction of the existing facilities of these enterprises.

The paper reviews and develops the mathematical model of plastic flow during the hot-forming processes. A flat non-stationary temperature problem for a cross-section of a long solid (rolled product) of arbitrary shape with different heat transfer conditions along the perimeter of the cross-section was considered. Equations for calculation of the thermal conductivity coefficient and heat capacity of tungsten billets were obtained in the temperature range of 700 - 1500°C, based on the literature data. Analytical dependences in form of regression equations were obtained, allowing for computer calculations of physical specifications of 11x11 mm VA grade tungsten billets in form of temperature functions with accuracy sufficient for practical calculations.
