The invention relates to the technical field of nodular
cast iron and an annealing method thereof, and discloses an annealing method for improving
elastic modulus and strength of nodular
cast iron and application, the annealing method comprises the following steps: first-stage annealing and high-temperature
decomposition: heating to 880-980 DEG C along with a furnace, and preserving heat for 15-36 hours; second-stage annealing and low-temperature graphitization: cooling to 650-860 DEG C, preserving heat for 3-5 hours, and then quickly discharging from the furnace for
air cooling; and performing surface treatment: performing shot blasting to remove
oxide skin to obtain the nodular
cast iron material. According to the scheme, the nodular cast iron material is prepared from the following raw materials in percentage by
mass: 1.8 to 2.3 percent of C, 1.3 to 2.2 percent of Si, 0.3 to 0.7 percent of Mn, 0.002 to 0.005 percent of Bi, 0.002 to 0.01 percent of Sb, less than 0.06 percent of P, less than 0.2 percent of S and the balance of Fe. Compared with the prior art that two-stage annealing (such as furnace cooling to 595-635 DEG C after 900-950 DEG C treatment and heat preservation) needs to be matched with special components such as high
rare earth and
high phosphorus, the steps are complex and the cost is high, the
phosphorus content and the
rare earth content of the material in the scheme are low, the
elastic modulus and the tensile strength of the nodular cast iron can be effectively improved by adding a proper amount of nodulizing agent, the production process is simplified, and the production cost is reduced. And the cost can be reduced.
