The invention relates to a technological process for stainless steel smelting, in particular to a process for directly producing austenitic stainless by utilizing oxide nickel. The process has the following advantages: oxide nickel of various grades is adopted to obtain different ingredients of molten nickel iron by smelting in a blast furnace and a submerged arc furnace, an electric arc furnace is cancelled as a melting unit, the chemical heat of the molten iron is utilized to melt all or part of chromium and manganese alloy, and a bottom-blowing argon-oxygen converter is utilized to dephosphorize so as to improve the dephosphorization efficiency of molten chromium iron and the obtainment yield of chromium, thereby the following series and trademarks of products, i.e. 200 series of 201, 202, J4, and the like, 300 series of 304,304L, 316,321,329, and the like, are produced; and meanwhile, all links in the whole production flows are organically combined, and various energy sources, such as coal gas, steam, afterheat, and the like are fully utilized and recycled, thereby the energy consumption is low, the secondary waste gas discharge amount not great, the production cost and the raw material cost are low, and the investment and the occupied area are not great.
