Provided is a hot-working tool capable of maintaining adequate toughness even if the permissible amount of P contained in the hot-working tool is increased. The present invention is a hot-working tool, which has a component composition that can be adjusted to a martensitic structure by quenching and has a post-quenching and tempering martensitic structure, wherein: the component composition comprises greater than 0.020 mass % to 0.050 mass % of P; prior austenite grain diameter in said post-quenching and tempering martensitic structure is at least No. 9.5 in grain size number according to JIS-G-0551; and the P concentration of the grain boundary of said prior austenite particles is not more than 1.5 mass %. A hot-working tool wherein said component composition also comprises not more than 0.0250 mass % of Zn is preferable. The present invention also is a method for manufacturing a hot-working tool in which quenching and tempering are performed on a hot-working tool material with said component composition.

In a die for compressing and sizing a sintered body at straight portions, upper taper portions are provided on a die upper portion and a core rod upper portion, and the straight portions are provided at a die lower portion and a core rod lower portion. The die upper portion and the core rod upper portion have Young's moduluses higher than the die lower portion and the core rod lower portion. The die upper portion and the core rod upper portion are made of materials having Young's moduluses that are at least 50 GPa higher than that of the sintered body. The sintered body can be densified with a smaller ironing margin. Since the sintered body is ironed without being compressed, by the upper taper portions and the core rod upper portion having high Young's moduluses, the die is prevented from breaking and being abraded due to ironing.
