The nodular cast iron samples were prepared with the normal nodularizing process, in which the important antinodularizing elements Pb, Bi and Al were added respectively in order to research the influence of them on the nodularization of the graphites. The nodular graphites were extracted from the nodular cast iron by the electrolytic technique. The distribution of trace elements in nodular and deformed graphite were measured by Scanning Proton Microprobe (SPM). Most of the adding elements Pb, Bi and Al existed in matrix as impurities, a part of them intruded into the nodular graphites. A new suggestion of Ti antinodularizing properties had been proposed. The influence of Pb, Bi and Al on the nodularization was indirectly performed through Ti. Therefore, Ti is one of the most important antinodularizing elements.
