The invention relates to the technical field of nodular
cast iron and a preparation method thereof, and discloses a preparation method and application of a nodular
cast iron material with high
elastic modulus, and the material comprises the following components in percentage by
mass: 1.8-2.3% of C, 1.3-2.2% of Si, 0.3-0.7% of Mn, 0.002-0.005% of Bi, 0.002-0.01% of Sb, less than 0.06% of P, less than 0.2% of S and the balance of Fe. The preparation method comprises the following steps: step 1,
smelting and
casting to obtain a
casting blank; secondly, the
casting blank is rapidly discharged out of the furnace and cooled in air after being subjected to first-stage annealing and second-stage annealing in sequence; and thirdly,
oxide skin is removed through shot blasting, and the nodular
cast iron material with the high
elastic modulus is obtained. According to the scheme, by optimizing the component proportion and performing two-stage annealing after
smelting and casting, a matrix structure with high
graphite nodule roundness, uniform components and good continuity can be formed, the elasticity modulus of the nodular cast iron material is effectively improved, the nodular cast iron material can conveniently and effectively bear the long-time
continuous operation load when replacing
alloy steel to manufacture a
crankshaft, and the service life of the
crankshaft is prolonged. And the alternating stress tolerance performance is improved, so that the
crankshaft cost is reduced, and light weight is realized.
