The invention discloses a
hot rolled wire rod used for a
welding wire and a production method of the
hot rolled wire rod. The
wire rod comprises, by weight percent, 0.060%-0.075% of C, 0.80%-0.88% ofSi, 1.40%-1.48% of Mn, smaller than or equal to 0.013% of P, smaller than or equal to 0.010% of S, 0.005%-0.020% of Ti and the balance Fe and inevitable impurities. The
hot rolled wire rod is preparedthrough a
molten steel smelting process, a refining process, a
casting process, a heating process, a temperature-controlled rolling process and a Stelmor
slow cooling process which are conducted in sequence. According to the temperature-controlled rolling process, a steel blank is manufactured into the wire rod in a rolling manner after high-pressure water scale removing, the temperature of an inlet of a finishing mill is smaller than or equal to 880 DEG C, the wire rod moves forwards on a
production line for at least 50 cm after final rolling and then is subjected to
water cooling, spinningis conducted after cooling, and the
spinning temperature ranges from 880 DEG C to 910 DEG C. According to the Stelmor
slow cooling process, heat insulation
slow cooling is conducted on the wire rod ona Stelmor slow cooling line, a heat insulation cover and a draught fan air opening are completely closed, and the
cooling speed of the wire rod in a
phase change temperature section is smaller than or equal to 0.8 DEG C / s. The structure, strength and
plasticity of the wire rod are uniform, the strength difference of the whole rod is smaller than or equal to 25 MPa, and the hot rolled wire rod ismore suitable for high-speed drawing.
