Abstract
The present invention provides a method for refining a molten chromium-containing steel by decarburization according to a combined-blown process, which contributes to an improvement in decarburization rate and realizes efficient decarburization while preventing [Cr] contained in the molten steel from being oxidized. The method is characterized in that, in a region where the [C] concentration of the molten chromium-containing steel is not less than 0.15%, oxygen or a gas mixture of oxygen with an inert gas is blown through a top-blown lance onto the surface of the molten steel under the following conditions:
