The invention belongs to the technical field of steel rails, and particularly relates to a high strength and
toughness steel rail for a crane and a manufacturing method thereof. The steel rail comprises the following components of, in percentage by weight, 0.15%-0.30% of C, 1.20%-1.70% of Si, 1.50%-2.50% of Mn, less than or equal to 0.025% of P, less than or equal to 0.015% of S, 0.30%-0.80% of Cr, 0.30%-0.70% of Mo, 0%-0.08% of Nb, 0%-0.020% of Ti, 0.20%-0.60% of Ni, the balance Fe, and unavoidable impurities; and the manufacturing method of the steel rail comprises the following steps that the soaking temperature of a
continuous casting billet is 1280-1340 DEG C, the heat preservation time is 1-1.5 hours, two-stage rolling is carried out, straightening and heat-preserving are carried out, and then cooling is carried out. According to the manufacturing method, the production method is adopted, C-Si-Mn-Cr-Mo-Ni are utilized, microalloying elements such as Nb and Ti are added compositely, and the rolling interval time and the temperature of each steel rolling process are controlled, so that a refined
austenite grain is obtained, and
air cooling is carried out, so that the crane steel rail with a
lath bainite structure with good strength and
toughness is obtained.
