The invention relates to a strong abrasion resisting electric arc spraying powder core wire containing Ti (C, N) hard phase and a preparation method thereof. The wire comprises the following powder core raw materials by mass percentage: 13-17% of Ti (C, N) powder, 16-20% of Cr powder, 17-23% of Cr2C3 powder, 9-13% of Ni powder, 1-3% of Mo powder, 15-17% of Si-Fe powder, and the rest being Mn-Fe powder. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) the powder core raw materials are weighed in proportion; (2) the powder core raw materials are mixed; (3) steel strips are used to wrap the mixed powder core raw materials to form thick wires; (5) the diameter of the thick wires is reduced grade by grade to form finished wire products. The wires can form constant dense protective coating on metal substrates by electric arc spraying, especially supersonic electric arc spraying, the protective coating has Ti(C, N)-based metal ceramic texture and performance, and has the characteristics of stainless steels, has higher hardness, red hardness, abrasion resistance, crater wear resistance and high pyrochemical stability, and is mainly used in surface protection for equipment such as boiler three pipes under high temperature and high abrasion and corrosion.
