The invention aims at providing a 
chromium-containing low-
nickel molten iron pretreatment process and application for 200-series stainless steel production. The process comprises the following steps that 
chromium-containing low-
nickel molten iron is added into a top-bottom compound blowing primary 
smelting furnace, and blowing 
smelting is conducted in the primary 
smelting furnace under the conditions of top lance 
oxygen blowing and bottom lance no 
oxygen blowing; when the carbon in a melting 
pool in the primary smelting furnace is reduced to 0.60%-1.50%, the 
silicon is reduced to less than 0.10%, and the endpoint temperature is controlled to range from 1620 DEG C to 1680 DEG C, 
oxygen blowing of a top lance of the primary smelting furnace is stopped, and then 
solid high-carbon ferrochromeand molten high-carbon 
ferrochrome are added into the primary smelting furnace; and a bottom lance of the primary smelting furnace is used for blowing 
nitrogen or 
inert gas into the melting 
pool, theblowing intensity of the bottom lance is controlled to range from 0.18 Nm<3> / t.min to 0.30 Nm<3> / t.min for stirring, 
slag is blocked for steel discharging, and then coarse smelting molten iron for 200-series stainless steel production is obtained, wherein the 
slag basicity is controlled to range from 1.3 to 1.6. According to the 
chromium-containing low-
nickel molten iron pretreatment process, thewear resistance of furnace-bottom 
refractory materials of the primary smelting furnace can be reduced, the furnace age of the primary smelting furnace is proloned, and the equipment cost is reduced.
