The invention relates to a cast steel shot and a manufacture thereof. The cast steel shot comprises the chemical compositions in percent by mass: 0.30-0.40% of C, 0.1-0.2% of Si, 0.5-0.65% of Mn, 1.0-1.2% of Cr, 0-0.01% of S, 0-0.01% of P, and the balance iron and unavoidable impurity. The manufacture technology comprises: preparing materials and melting, namely melting the prepared raw material compositions to form molten steel, pouring into a tundish, and employing a deoxidizer for deoxidization; forming a shot, namely, pouring deoxidized molten steel into a centrifugation disk rotating at a high speed, tossing out the pill under the centrifugal effect, dropping into a cooling pool, fishing out and baking to dry, so as to obtain a formed as-cast steel shot; and performing heat treatment, namely, heating the formed as-cast steel shot to 870-880 DEG C, keeping for 30-40 min, performing water-cooling quenching, performing tempering processing at 400-500 DEG C for 50-80 min, after tempering, employing a steel-plate vibrating-screen water cooling process to perform rapid cooling, so as to prepare the cast steel shot. The method guarantees the steel shot to have high hardness and also prevents the steel shot from generating cracks in the process of centrifugation forming and heating quenching, thereby increasing the toughness and other advantages of the steel shot.
