The invention discloses a production process of a high-carbon microalloying steel ball. The production process comprises the following steps of: heating a steel ball blank to be 1,200-1,250 DEG C and forging the steel ball blank to a steel ball of which the size is required; precooling the steel ball until the temperature of the surface layer of the steel ball is 800-850 DEG C; putting the steel ball into clear water at the temperature of 30-60 DEG C to quench until the temperature of surface layer of the steel ball is reduced to 280-340 DEG C, and taking out the steel ball; 1-2s later, putting the steel ball into mechanical oil at the temperature of 30-50 DEG C to quench until the temperature of surface layer of the steel ball is reduced be below 60 DEG C; taking out the steel ball and putting the steel ball into mechanical oil at the temperature of 200-240 DEG C to temper for not less than 4 hours; and taking out and finishing the steel ball to obtain a steel ball finished product, wherein according to the weight percentage, the steel ball contains 0.90-1.05 percent of C, 0.30-0.70 percent of Si, 0.80-1.20 percent of Mn, 0.25-0.40 percent of Cr and the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities. The high-carbon microalloying steel ball is prepared by using the production process, and the quenching and cracking of the steel ball can be effectively avoided; and compared with the conventional high-carbon microalloying steel ball, the prepared high-carbon microalloying steel ball has the same performance, and obviously reduces alloy contents and production cost.
