The invention relates to a preparation method of a low-
magnesium nodulizer, and the preparation method belongs to the technical field of nodular
cast iron. The preparation method takes
magnesium powder,
yttrium powder,
cerium powder and
calcium powder as raw materials, and prepares the low-
magnesium nodulizer; the magnesium is a basic
graphite spheroidizing element, the
chemical property of magnesium is active, the desulfurization and
deoxygenation capacity is high, the generated
sulfide and
oxide are high in melting points, low in density and prone to float out of molten iron to be removed, the spheroidizing capacity of
rare earth elements such as
yttrium and
cerium is high, the added
rare earth elements such as
yttrium and
cerium can play a good auxiliary spheroidizing role, the added yttrium and cerium elements can reduce the adding amount of magnesium and possible black
slag defects, and a stable spheroidizing effect can be achieved even if the
sulfur content of molten base iron ishigh; and by adding
calcium into the molten iron, the effects of deoxidizing, desulfurizing and improving the
surface tension of the molten iron can be achieved, the adding amount of main spheroidizing elements can be reduced, and the spheroidizing effect is enhanced.
