    摘要: The invention provides a method for increasing the quality of graphite balls. The method comprises melting molten iron in an electric furnace, increasing the sulfur content in the molten iron during the melting process, and adding rare earth in the electric furnace or in a nodularizing ladle; after the molten iron is completely melted, pouring the molten iron into the nodularizing ladle and nodularizing; and after nodularization, adding ferromanganese to a transfer ladle. In the present invention, sulfur is added to molten iron in advance, and rare earth is added to a nodularizing ladle previously, so that a large number of dispersed rare earth sulfide particles are formed in the molten iron during the nodularization process. Rare earth sulfide particles serve as the nuclei of graphite crystallization to increase the number of graphite balls, and improve the roundness of graphite balls.
