The invention relates to a 1100MPa-grade high-strength
tool steel wire rod and a manufacturing method thereof, the
wire rod adopts a middle-carbon Nb-V-containing chemical component design, after a steel billet is rolled and spun into the
wire rod according to the
spinning temperature of more than or equal to 860 DEG C, online
molten salt semi-
quenching isothermal treatment is performed, the wire rod is controlled to be subjected to front-section
molten salt treatment, and then the steel wire rod is subjected to hot rolling and hot rolling to obtain the 1100MPa-grade high-strength
tool steel wire rod. According to the method, the steel wire rod enters a
bainite phase region from a high-temperature
austenite state at the
cooling speed of more than or equal to 30 DEG C / s to form a structure taking quenched
bainite as a main component, and then is subjected to rear-section
molten salt heating isothermal
tempering and
toughening destressing treatment, and finally is subjected to roller way
slow cooling to prepare the steel wire rod with a microscopic structure comprising tempered
bainite and ferrite, so that the material cost can be reduced, and the production efficiency is improved. The method has the advantages that
martensite brittle structures are effectively avoided, the structure state of the hot-rolled wire rod is controlled, the
plasticity and cold working performance of the wire rod are improved, the tensile strength of the product can reach 980-1030 MPa, the
percentage reduction of area is 61%-66%, and the product can be directly machined into tool parts after
cold forming.
