Abstract
A method for producing chromium-containing molten steel from a raw material including a chromium-containing raw material includes a first step in which a slag basicity before rough decarburization by oxygen blowing is adjusted to be not less than 1.5 and not more than 3.0, a slag basicity after rough decarburization by oxygen blowing is adjusted to be not less than 2.0 and not more than 3.5, and then tapping is performed while slag containing a chromium oxide generated by the oxygen blowing is made to remain in the furnace, and a second step in which the slag containing a chromium oxide made to remain is reduced by using a carbon source or a metal source newly added into the same furnace so that chromium is recovered into molten steel. The slag basicity is determined by dividing a CaO concentration by an SiOconcentration on a mass basis in the slag.
