The invention provides an isothermal
salt bath heat treatment production method for improving the structure uniformity of a bearing steel
wire rod, which comprises the following steps of: performing shot blasting, flaw detection and coping on a
continuous casting blank, rolling, adopting a one-heating forming process, controlling the
heating temperature to be 1100-1250 DEG C, keeping the temperature for 1-3 hours, starting rolling, controlling the process temperature and the
spinning temperature to be 780-870 DEG C, and after
spinning, performing heat preservation for 1-3 hours. And
salt bath controlled cooling is adopted, the
salt bath temperature is 535-600 DEG C, the
wire rod enters a heat preservation cover to be slowly cooled after being taken out of the salt bath, and the
wire rod is rolled and air-cooled to the
room temperature after being taken out of the cover. The molten
nitrate is adopted as a
cooling medium, the
cooling speed of a high-temperature area is higher, especially for large-specification wires, an excellent
quenching structure can be obtained, the cooling uniformity and stability are guaranteed, the temperature of the
molten salt can be adjusted according to different specifications of the bearing steel wires to control the
cooling speed, and therefore the
cooling speed of the bearing steel wires is adjusted. And cooling is performed in an immersion manner, so that the cleaning uniformity of the wire rod is obviously superior to that of an air-cooled wire rod.
