The invention relates to a roller and a production process thereof, in particular to the special chilled cast iron roller for a wire rod bar finishing mill rack and the production process thereof. Theroller is prepared from chemical components of an outer layer and a core part. The outer layer is prepared from the chemical components: 3.0 to 3.2 percent of C, 0.4 to 0.60 percent of Si, 0.3 to 0.5percent of Mn, less than or equal to 0.05 percent of P, less than or equal to 0.03 percent of S, 1.25 to 1.45 percent of Cr, 0.3 to 0.5 percent of Mo, 3.0 to 3.5 percent of Ni, 0.1 to 0.3 percent ofV, 0.06 to 0.15 percent of Re, and 0.2 to 0.4 percent of Nb; and the core part is prepared from the chemical components: 3.0 to 3.5 percent of C, 2.2 to 2.60 percent of Si, 0.40 to 0.60 percent of Mn,less than or equal to 0.05 percent of P, less than or equal to 0.03 percent of S, 0.8 to 1.2 percent of Cu, larger than or equal to 0.05 percent of Mg, and the balance Fe and a small amount of residual elements. According to the special chilled cast iron roller for a wire rod bar finishing mill rack and the production process thereof provided by the invention, a traditional advantage of the chilled cast iron roller is fully played, and a carbide morphology and a roller microstructure are improved through optimized component preparation and improvement of a heat treatment process, so that a precious alloy resource is saved, a comprehensive performance of the roller is improved, and a production requirement of a steel rolling enterprise is met with a reasonable cost performance; and the on-machine rolling quantity of the roller is improved by 1.7 times compared with bainite made of a traditional material, and the roller price is only half of the price of high-speed steel.
