The invention discloses a heat treatment method for high-speed steel for rollers. The chemical composition of the high-speed steel consists of the following components in percentage by weight: C: 3.2 to 3.6; W: 1.2 to 1.6; Mo: 5.0 to 7.0; V: 2.0 to 3.0; Cr: 8.0 to 10.0; Al: 0.1 to 0.4; Ni: 2.2 to 2.6; Co: 6.5 to 7.5; Nb: 0.2 to 0.4; Ti: 0.2 to 0.4; Ce: 0.4 to 0.6; Zr: 0.05 to 0.20; Si: less than 0.8; Mn: less than 1.5; S: less than 0.03; P: less than 0.04; and the balance of Fe. After the high-speed steel is cast to form a billet and the billet is roughly machined, the billet is quenched, the quenching process is carried out when a furnace is heated to 1260 DEG C to 1280 DEG C, the temperature is kept for 3 to 5 hours, the billet is then quenched in oil, and is tempered after being quenched, the tempering process is carried out when the furnace is heated to 620 DEG C to 650 DEG C, the temperature is kept for 5 to 7 hours, the furnace is cooled and then heated to 610 DEG C to 630 DEG C again, the temperature is kept for 5 to 7 hours, and after air cooling and tempering, finish machining is carried out, so that a roller, the dimensional precision and surface roughness of which come up to requirements, is obtained.
