The invention discloses a 
shovel tooth and a preparation method thereof. The method comprises the following steps: 
smelting raw materials to obtain molten iron, wherein the molten iron comprises the following components: C, Mn, Si, Cr, Al, Mo, Cu, Ni, Sb, V and iron; spheroidizing, inoculating and slagging off the molten iron, cooling the molten iron to 1350-1380 DEG C, then carrying out pouring, and performing heat treatment to obtain the 
shovel tooth, wherein the heat treatment comprises the following steps: carrying out heating to 950-1100 DEG C, keeping the temperature for 10-30 minutes, performing 
air cooling to 
room temperature, carrying out heating to T DEG C, keeping the temperature for t min, wherein T is equal to 870-910, and t is equal to 80-110; placing the unfinished product into a 
nitrate solution at 220-300 DEG C, keeping the temperature for 100-200 minutes, performing water 
quenching at 
room temperature for 30-45 minutes, cooling the unfinished product in 
liquid nitrogen at -200 DEG C to -190 DEG C for 100-150 minutes, and standing to 
room temperature. The method provided by the invention is simple in process, and the obtained 
shovel tooth is high in 
hardness, good in 
impact toughness, excellent in 
wear resistance and long in service life.
