The invention discloses a nanometer treatment method for stainless steel. The nanometer treatment method comprises the steps of degreasing, hot water cleaning, dry ice cleaning, nanometer treatment, water washing, dry ice cleaning, alkaline etching, twice successive water cleaning, neutralization and water washing. In the nanometer treatment step, 250-300 g/L of ferric trichloride, 50-100 g/L of hydrochloric acid, 20-30 g/L of Cu2+ and 5-10 g/L of sodium dihydrogen phosphate are selected to be used. Nanometer treatment is conducted for 60-240 seconds at the temperature of 20-60 DEG C. The nanometer treatment method is mild in reaction and uniform in etching speed; pits at the nanometer scale can be formed in the surface of the stainless steel, and the formed pits are uniform; and the process is completed by one step, so that the time cost is saved. Copper ions are used, and therefore, etching can be implemented steadily; formed holes are uniform in depth; the formed pits are filled with resin in the injection molding process, so that tight connection is achieved between the resin and the surface of the stainless steel; and the bonding strength between the resin and the steel is improved.
