The invention relates to a 1450MPa-grade high-strength
tool steel wire rod and a manufacturing method thereof.The method includes the steps that after Nb-V chemical component design rolling and
spinning are conducted to form a
wire rod, online
molten salt phase change regulation and control
quenching isothermal treatment is conducted, the
wire rod is controlled to be cooled from a high-temperature
austenite state at the front-section
molten salt at the
cooling speed larger than or equal to 36 DEG C / s, part of
austenite is promoted to be converted into a
martensite structure, and then the temperature of
molten salt is reduced from the high-temperature
austenite state at the
cooling speed larger than or equal to 36 DEG C / s; the method comprises the following steps: heating to a sorbite phase region through a rear-section molten salt, promoting the transformation of austenite residues to a sorbite structure, carrying out isothermal
tempering toughening destressing treatment on the structure, and finally carrying out roller way
slow cooling to prepare the wire rod with a microscopic structure comprising isothermal sorbite and tempered
martensite, so that the strength and
plasticity matching of the wire rod can be improved, the tensile strength is 1410-1460 MPa, and the tensile strength is 410-460 MPa. The
percentage reduction of area is 37%-42%, additional heat treatment is avoided after cold
machining forming,
tool steel parts are directly machined, the production
energy consumption and cost of the high-strength
tool steel are reduced, and the production efficiency is improved.
