The invention provides a chromium-alloyed cord steel wire rod and a production process. The chromium-alloyed cord steel wire rod comprises the following chemical components of, in percentage by weight, 0.68%-0.82% of C, 0.20%-0.40% of Mn, 0.15%-0.30% of Si, 0.30%-0.40% of Cr, less than or equal to 0.012% P, less than or equal to 0.008% of S, less than or equal to 0.05% of Ni, less than or equal to0.05% of Cu, less than or equal to 0.03% of Mo, less than or equal to 0.003% of Al, less than or equal to 0.002% of Ti, less than or equal to 0.002% of [O], less than or equal to 0.005% of [N], and the balance Fe and unavoidable impurities. The production technology comprises the following steps of smelting molten steel, and adding chromium alloy in the converter tapping process; refining to obtain molten steel; carrying out continuous casting on the molten steel obtained after refining to obtain a steel billet; and heating the steel billet to obtain a chromium-alloyed cord steel wire rod, and carrying out controlled cooling on the chromium-alloyed cord steel wire rod. According to the chromium-alloyed cord steel wire rod and the production process, microalloying is adopted, the chromiumcontent is increased, the carbon content and the manganese content are reduced to compensate for the performance of the steel wire rod and the finished steel wire, carbon segregation of the steel wirerod is improved, the net carbon forming probability is reduced, the plasticity and the machining performance of the steel wire rod can be improved at the same time, and the strand combining and wirebreaking rate in the steel wire rod cord machining process is reduced.
