The invention provides 600 MPa-level thick-specification hot rolling spoke steel and a manufacturing method thereof. The spoke steel comprises the following chemical constituents in mass percent: 0.06-0.12% of C, 0.20-0.60% of Si, 0.80-1.20% of Mn, 0.02-0.06% of Alt, 0.50-1.00% of Cr, 0.03-0.08% of P, smaller than or equal to 0.005% of S, smaller than or equal to 0.006% of N, and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities. In the manufacturing method of the spoke steel, the billet heating temperature is 1,150-1,250 DEG C, and the finish rolling temperature is 760-840 DEG C; after rolling, a conventional cooling technology is used to cool the steel at a cooling rate of 20-100 DEG C per second to 350 DEG C below, and then the steel is reeled. The steel plate is good in processability and fatigue performance, and free of Nb, V, Mo, Ni and other elements, so as to save the production cost. The steel plate provided by the invention can be widely applied to the spoke production of steel wheels of commercial vehicles.
