The invention relates to the technical field of metallurgy, and particularly discloses a hot-rolled wire rod for a 90-kilogram-grade welding wire and a production method thereof. The hot-rolled wire rod comprises the components of C, Si, Mn, Ni, Mo, Cr, V, Ti, Al, N, Zr and the balance Fe and inevitable impurities. The hot-rolled wire rod for the 90-kilogram-grade welding wire is prepared throughthe procedures of steelmaking, continuous casting, heating, rolling, laying and cooling. According to the method, through component adjustment and process optimization, the prepared hot-rolled wire rod meets the requirements of the wire rod for the 90-kilogram-grade welding wire, a ferrite+pearlite structure suitable for drawing is obtained, and the strength, toughness and plasticity of the wire rod are good so that the annealing process can be omitted in the welding wire processing process, welded deposited metal has moderate strength, the low-temperature impact energy is good, the productionefficiency is high, and the wide application prospect is achieved.
