The invention relates to a 1250MPa-grade high-strength
tool steel wire rod and a manufacturing method thereof.The manufacturing method includes the steps that after medium-
carbon alloy components containing trace Nb and V are designed, rolled and spun into a
wire rod, online
molten salt quenching strong isothermal treatment is conducted, the
wire rod is made to pass through front-section
molten salt firstly, the wire rod is controlled to enter a
bainite phase region from a high-temperature
austenite state at the
cooling speed larger than or equal to 35 DEG C / s, and then the high-strength
tool steel wire rod is manufactured; the preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly,
quenching bainite is taken as a main
raw material to form a
quenching structure taking the quenched
bainite as a main
raw material, then, the steel wire rod with a microscopic structure comprising tempered bainite and ferrite is prepared through rear-section
molten salt heating, isothermal
tempering and
toughening destressing treatment on the quenching structure,
carbide precipitation control and roller way
slow cooling finally, and the strength and
plasticity matching of the steel wire rod can be improved by adjusting the structure state, so that the strength and
plasticity of the steel wire rod are improved. The tensile strength is 1175-1225 MPa, the
percentage reduction of area is 58%-63%, and the steel can be directly machined into parts after cold
machining forming, so that the production
energy consumption of the
tool steel is reduced, the cost is reduced, and the efficiency is improved.
