The invention discloses a 400 MPa-level Cl environment corrosion resistant steel bar and a manufacturing method thereof and belongs to the technical field of corrosion resistant steel for building. The chemical components of the steel bar comprise, by weight, 0.08-0.12% of C, 0.40-0.70% of Si, 1.00-1.30% of Mn, 1.00-1.30% of Cr, smaller than or equal to 0.20% of Ni, 0.20-0.40% of Cu, 0.10-0.20% ofMo, 0.04-0.07% of V, 0.02-0.04% of Nb, smaller than or equal to 0.035% of P, smaller than or equal to 0.010% of S, and the balance Fe and inevitable remaining impurity elements. According to the method, by means of the synergistic effect of the alloy elements, corrosion resistant performance of the steel bar is improved, and different reinforcing mechanisms of the alloy elements are utilized forcarrying out the comprehensive strengthening and toughening design. According to the manufacturing method of the steel bar, smelting and pouring are carried out by the book, and then the controlled rolling and controlled cooling technology is adopted on a bar mill. The content of precious metal elements in the steel bar is small, the comprehensive performance of the steel bar is excellent, resources are saved, and the production cost is low.
