The invention relates to a smelting recovery method for lath-like residual titanium. The smelting recovery method includes the steps of residual titanium sizing, surface treatment, distribution and electrode binding, VAR smelting and finished titanium ingot treatment. The procedures of residual titanium crushing, mixing and electrode pressing are omitted, the manufacturing process flow is short, and operation is simple. The utilization rate of the residual titanium is high, specifically, 100% adding and recovery of the residual titanium can be achieved due to the fact that electrode pressing is not needed, the residual titanium adding proportion is increased to 100% from 30%, and the utilization rate of the residual titanium is greatly increased. The production cost is low, and specifically, the production cost is effectively lowered by shortening the manufacturing process flow and increasing the utilization rate of the residual titanium. The smelting recovery quality is good, specifically, due to the fact that the residual titanium crushing procedure is omitted, increment of impurity elements such as Fe, O and N in the crushing process can be effectively reduced, and the quality of titanium ingots obtained through smelting recovery is improved.
