The application belongs to the technical field of cord steel preparation, and particularly relates to a high-strength and high-
plasticity cord steel and a preparation method thereof, the preparation method comprising the following steps: S1, obtaining a cord
steel casting blank, heating, rolling and cooling the cord
steel casting blank to obtain a cord steel
wire rod, and the structure of the cord steel
wire rod is a
pearlite structure with an average interlamellar spacing of 95-100 nm; S2, cold drawing the cord steel
wire rod to obtain a cord steel wire material, and the total surface reduction of the cold drawing is greater than or equal to 85%; and S3,
heat treating the cord steel wire material to obtain the high-strength and high-
plasticity cord steel, and the holding temperature of the heat treatment is 280-300 DEG C. According to the application, a
pearlite matrix is obtained through
alloy composition and cooling design, and
severe plastic deformation is performed to construct an initial state with high defect density, low-temperature heat treatment is adopted to drive short-range
diffusion of interface carbon atoms to construct a composition gradient and drive
diffusion of micro-
alloy elements to regulate nanometer precipitates, and the interface plasticization and
precipitation reinforcement are synergized.
