The invention relates to a method for adding nano particles into steel, refining a structure and strengthening and toughening steel. The method comprises the following steps that firstly, the nano particles are pre-dispersed, oxide nano particles and pure metal nano powder are weighed and are mixed, and a mixture is subjected to pre-dispersing in a planetary ball grinder under the vacuum and liquid nitrogen cooling condition to obtain mixed nano powder; secondly, an aluminum-based intermediate is prepared, a medium-frequency induction furnace is adopted for heating and melting metal aluminum,the mixed nano powder is added, and under the joint effect of a spiral electromagnetic field and ultrasonic waves, the mixed nano powder is dispersed in the molten aluminum to obtain the aluminum-based intermediate; and thirdly, the nano particles are added, in the deoxidized alloying process in the RH refining later period, silicon, manganese, aluminum or alloy of silicon, manganese and aluminumis adopted for deoxidizing the molten steel, the aluminum-based intermediate is added, and in the continuous casting production process, a continuous casting blank with the nano particles evenly distributed is prepared. Aluminum alloying is achieved, and after aluminum dissolving, the nano particles are released to be dispersed in the molten steel.
