The invention relates to a hardening and tempering high-strength steel plate for wood based panel equipment and a production method of the steel plate, and belongs to the field of manufacturing low-alloy high-strength structural steel. The steel plate consists of the following chemical components in percentage by weight: 0.18 to 0.24 percent of C, 0.20 to 0.50 percent of Si, 0.80 to 1.20 percent of Mn, more than or equal to 0.02 percent of P, more than or equal to 0.01 percent of S, 0.20 to 0.50 percent of Mo, 0.20 to 0.50 percent of Ni, 0.70 to 1.00 percent of Cr, more than or equal to 0.003percent of B, 0.017 to 0.030 percent of Nb, 0.040 to 0.050 percent of V, 0.017 to 0.026 percent of Ti, and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities. The production method of the steel plate comprises the following steps of: electric furnace smelting, vacuum decarburization / vacuum arc decarburization (VD / VOD) furnace vacuum decarburization, ladle furnace (LF) furnace refining, continuous casting (die casting), billet steel (ingot) clearing, heating, plate rolling, hardening and tempering, steel plate checking and polishing, tempering, sampling inspection, and warehousing. The hardening andtempering high-strength steel plate for the wood based panel equipment adopts Cr-Ni-Mo-B system micro-alloy elements for composite strengthening, and acquires good obdurability matching through a reasonable heat treatment process, and simultaneously the welding performance of a thick plate is not reduced.
