The invention discloses a steam bluing process method of a swing seat, and relates to the technical field of hydraulic pumps. The method comprises the following steps of S1, removing oil; S2, cleaning: after the swing seat is deoiled, using flowing cold water to rinse so as to remove oil on a surface of a workpiece, and then using cleaning hot water to clean; S3, inspecting the surface of the workpiece; S4, carrying out steam treatment: loading the workpiece into a furnace when a furnace temperature is 350-370 DEG C, electrifying and heating when the temperature of the workpiece reaches above150 DEG C, introducing steam, and meanwhile, completely opening an exhaust valve, exhausting air in a hearth, adjusting the exhaust valve, increasing air inlet pressure, increasing steam pressure of the hearth, carrying out direct heating and heat preservation, after the heat preservation is completed, opening the exhaust valve and increasing the air inlet pressure, carrying out outage, reducing the temperature in the furnace to 300 DEG C, stopping steam input, and taking the workpiece out of the furnace; S5, carrying out secondary steam treatment; S6, carrying out oil immersion treatment; andS7, controlling oil. The method has advantages that the workpiece is subjected to steam treatment, pores of an oxidation film are reduced, the oxidation film is uniformly formed, and corrosion resistance performance is guaranteed.
