A graphite spheroidizing agent containing : 30-80 wt % of Si; Mg; RE (rare earth element) which comprises Ce with a purity level of 80-100 wt % or La with a purity level of 80-100 wt %; Ca; and Al is used. The graphite spheroidizing agent is added so as to satisfy the conditions that an amount of RE equivalent to 0.001-0.009 wt % of the total weight of the molten metal, an amount of Ca equivalent to 0.001-0.02 wt % of the total weight of the molten metal, and an amount of Al equivalent to 0.001-0.02 wt % of the total weight of the molten metal are added to the molten metal, and that the molten metal contains 0.03-0.07 wt % of Mg after the graphite spheroidizing treatment. It is possible to suppress crystallization of chunky graphite in a thick section of spheroidal graphite cast iron and deterioration of mechanical properties, with a low cost.
