Abstract:

When storing a molten ferroalloy or molten nonferrous metal, the molten ferroalloy or molten nonferrous metal is denitrified or prevented from absorbing nitrogen, and thus post processing such as a denitrification process may not be performed. For this, there is provided a method of producing molten manganese-containing steel, the method including: preparing a molten ferroalloy or a molten nonferrous metal; maintaining the molten ferroalloy or the molten nonferrous metal at a temperature equal to or higher than a melting point thereof; and pouring the molten ferroalloy or the molten nonferrous metal into prepared molten steel, wherein in the maintaining of the molten ferroalloy or the molten nonferrous metal, the molten ferroalloy or the molten nonferrous metal is subjected to a nitrogen-absorption prevention process or a denitrification process.
