The invention relates to an ultrahigh-strength and high-
toughness steel member and a preparation method thereof. Comprising the following steps that (1) a
cobalt-free
maraging steel wire is adopted, and the wire is prepared from, by
mass, 0%-0.02% of C, 0.5%-0.6% of Ti, 0.1%-0.2% of Al, 13.5%-14.5% of Ni, 2.5%-3.5% of Mo, 2.5%-3.5% of Cr, 0.5%-1.5% of Mn, 0%-0.02% of Si and the balance Fe; (2) process parameters and a material increasing path of
electric arc material increasing are determined; (3) component material adding is conducted; (4) aging treatment is conducted, specifically, the component obtained in the step (3) is heated to 450-480 DEG C from the
room temperature, heat preservation is conducted for 6 + / -0.5 h, and then the component is taken out and air-cooled to the
room temperature; and (5) subzero treatment is conducted, specifically, the component subjected to
air cooling to the
room temperature in the step (4) is put into a subzero medium to be cooled to-130 DEG C or below, heat preservation is conducted for 6-12 h, then the component is taken out, and the ultrahigh-strength and high-
toughness steel component is obtained. The component prepared by the preparation method disclosed by the invention finally has high strength and good
toughness, and has a good application value.
