The invention discloses high strength spring steel and a production method thereof. The production method comprises the following steps: S1, preparing pure iron, metal chromium, ferrovanadium, manganese, industrial silicon and graphite according to components of a designed steel type: 0.51-0.65% of C, 1.20-1.60% of Si, 0.50-0.80% of Mn, 0-0.012% of P, 0-0.010% of S, 0.50-0.80% of Cr, 0-0.25% of Cuand 0.15-0.25% of V and the balance iron and inevitable impurities; S2, putting pure iron and part of graphite in a furnace to be vacuumized and heated and smelted, adding industrial silicon and metal chromium after the pure iron and graphite are fully melted, adjusting the melting temperature after the pure iron and graphite are fully melted, adding residual graphite to refine, vacuumizing the furnace at the same time, adding ferrovanadium and manganese after refining, and uniformly stirring the melted which is melted fully to obtain molten steel; S3, adjusting the temperature of the moltensteel and pouring the molten steel to a cast ingot; and S4, quenching the cast ingot, cooling the cast ingot to room temperature by oil, carrying out tempering treatment, air-cooling the cast ingot toroom temperature to obtain the high strength spring steel. The strength of the spring steel is improved greatly, and the toughness of the spring steel is considered.
