The preparation method according to claim 1, characterized in that, The LF refining process involves: using a high current of 21000–24000A to heat and slag; when the slag surface fluctuates and the molten steel and electric arc are not exposed, adding active lime; after 5 minutes, taking a first sample to analyze the chemical composition; adding alloys according to the target chemical composition values; and adding thermal coal for carbonization; the alloys and thermal coal are added to the argon flow; when the molten steel temperature reaches 1610–1615℃, adding 1–3 kg / t of diffusion deoxidizer for diffusion deoxidation; closing the furnace door for 10 minutes; when the molten steel temperature reaches 1620–1630℃, taking a second sample to analyze the chemical composition to confirm the deviation of each chemical element content from the target value; after the second sample is removed, adding diffusion deoxidizer to continue slag adjustment; and so on. The alloying dosage per ton of steel is as follows: 3.2–3.4 kg / t high-carbon ferrochrome, 0.07–0.1 kg / t aluminum granules, 0.35–0.42 kg / t ferrosilicon, and 0.85–0.9 kg / t coke carburizer. Maintain the slag basicity (pH) at 2.5–3.5 and the slag viscosity at 0.80–1.20 Pa·s. Continue white slag smelting for 20–30 minutes. When the molten steel temperature reaches 1630–1640℃, perform final deoxidation and feed Al wire at a rate of 1.3–1.4 meters / t of steel. After wire feeding, begin static argon blowing for 10–20 minutes. The supplementary auxiliary materials added per ton of steel are: 5.6–6 kg / t quicklime and 1.2–1.3 kg / t thermal coal.

5. The preparation method according to claim 1, characterized in that, The RH refining process is as follows: Before starting the vacuum pump, the argon pressure is controlled at 0.1-0.3 MPa to ensure that the molten steel is not exposed when the slag surface is slightly moved. When the vacuum degree reaches 100-110 Pa, the timing is started and maintained for 10-15 minutes. Depending on the composition of the molten steel, aluminum particles and high manganese are added according to the target composition. At the same time, the argon pressure is adjusted to 0.3-0.5 MPa. After the static argon blowing is completed, 1.1-1.2 meters / ton of silicon-calcium wire is added.
