The invention discloses a manufacturing method of a vermicular cast iron piston ring. The material of the vermicular cast iron piston ring comprises the following chemical components in percentage by weight: 3.4-4.0% of C, 2.4-3.2% of Si, not more than 0.3% of Mn, 0.2-0.4% of Cr, 0.2-0.6% of Mo, 0.5-1.0% of Cu, 0.05-0.15% of Ti, not more than 0.1% of P, not more than 0.05% of S, 0.009-0.02% of Mg and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities. The manufacturing method of the vermicular cast iron piston ring comprises the following technical steps of moulding, smelting, casting, shaking out, shot blasting, mechanical processing, surface treatment and the like. By adopting the manufacturing method disclosed by the invention, the thinning of the piston ring is achieved, the production process is relatively simple, and the manufactured vermicular cast iron piston ring is high in elasticity, strength, toughness and wear resistance.
