The invention relates to a hot-rolled
wire rod for a 1960MPa-grade bridge cable and a manufacturing method of the hot-rolled
wire rod, after a C-Si-Mn-Cr hypereutectoid component is rolled and spun into a
wire rod, the wire rod is subjected to online
molten salt strong isothermal treatment, so that the wire rod firstly passes through front-section
molten salt and is cooled at a
cooling speed of more than or equal to 36 DEG C / s, and enters a sorbite phase region from an
austenite state to promote transformation of part of
austenite to sorbite; the method comprises the following steps: carrying out high-temperature heat treatment on a steel wire rod, then carrying out rear-section
molten salt heating isothermal treatment to promote
pearlite phase change and isothermal
tempering, and finally carrying out roller way
slow cooling to prepare a mixed structure with a microscopic structure mainly comprising tempered sorbite and tempered
pearlite and the balance of ferrite and quasi-spheroidized
carbide, so that a component
system can be simplified, the structure of the steel wire rod is regulated to be uniform, and the service life of the steel wire rod is prolonged. The tensile strength is 1360-1410 MPa, the
percentage reduction of area is 45%-50%, the requirement for the strength grade of a 1960 MPa bridge cable is met, and meanwhile the risks of
wire breakage and unqualified torsion of manufactured wires are reduced.
