The invention provides a nodular
cast iron material and a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method of the nodular
cast iron material comprises the following steps that S1, a mixture of
pig iron, low-
manganese waste steel and
foundry returns is heated to be completely molten,
alloy and auxiliary materials are supplemented and adjusted to target components, and base iron is obtained; s2, a spheroidizing agent is added into the base iron to conduct spheroidizing treatment,
ladle-to-
ladle inoculation is conducted after spheroidizing treatment, and an efficient inoculant is added during
ladle-to-ladle
inoculation; s3, pouring is conducted, and during pouring, a long-acting
stream inoculant is added for instantaneous
inoculation; and S4, carrying out vibration aging treatment to obtain the nodular
cast iron material. According to the nodular cast iron material, collaborative upgrading is achieved in the three dimensions of
graphite form-
matrix strength-thermal stress dissipation, in a
bench test, the number of hot cracks is greatly increased, the service life is obviously prolonged, and reliable guarantee is provided for braking safety of heavy vehicles.
