The invention discloses a
smelting method of stainless steel. The
smelting method comprises the following steps: (1) an electric furnace
smelting process: adding
chromium-containing waste steel and
manganese-containing waste steel into an electric furnace for smelting, and tapping after waste steel is molten completely in the electric furnace, wherein the content of
manganese is controlled to be 3-6%, and the content of
chromium is controlled to be 24-28%; (2) a
nitrogen-
oxygen decarbonization refining process: transferring
molten steel into a refining
station of a
nitrogen-
oxygen refining furnace for refining under the condition that
nitrogen is introduced at the flow rate of 2000-2200Nm<3> / h in the whole refining course, decarbonizing at first, adding
metal Mn after decarbonizing is completed, raising the temperature, then, reducing, slagging after reducing, adding
manganese alloy after slagging under the condition that the flow rate of nitrogen is 900-1100Nm<3> / h at the moment, stirring, and then tapping
molten steel into a
die casting ladle; (3) a
ladle refining process, wherein nitrogen-manganese
alloy is added stepwise in a refining process, and then
argon blowing treatment is carried out; and (4) a
die casting process. The invention further provides stainless steel obtained by using the smelting method. The smelting method disclosed by the invention has the advantages of shortening smelting time, improving nitrogen adding efficiency, reducing nitrogen adding cost and improving the purity degree of the
molten steel.
