Method for preparing nodular cast iron casting by recycling scrap steel
Technical Field

Background
The nodular cast iron material is spheroidal graphite obtained by spheroidization and inoculation, and the material can effectively improve the mechanical property of cast iron, so the nodular cast iron material is widely applied, particularly in the field of mechanical manufacturing. In the prior art, pure pig iron is mainly used as a raw material to prepare the nodular cast iron-carbon alloy material, so that the product cost is high. The scrap steel is an iron-carbon alloy material which is utilized once or for many times, is a renewable resource with high value, theoretically, the scrap steel can be completely applied to nodular cast iron materials, however, the utilization rate of the scrap steel is low due to the limited prior art, a large amount of scrap steel is idle and wasted every year, the scrap steel is not well utilized, and the resource is greatly wasted. The main reason for the limited reuse of the scrap steel is that a large amount of harmful elements remain in the scrap steel material after the processes of spraying, plating, compounding and the like, and the remaining harmful elements can cause the problems of rigid hot brittleness increase, steel ductility reduction, interface deviation and the like; in addition, in the existing process for preparing the nodular cast iron by mixing the scrap steel and the pig iron, the difference between the components of the scrap steel and the components of the pig iron is large, the setting of process conditions is difficult, and the instability of product quality is easily caused because uniform process conditions cannot be adopted for the scrap steel from different sources due to the difference of the components, so that a process for preparing the nodular cast iron material by recycling the scrap steel with uniform standards needs to be researched.
