The invention discloses steel for a battery shell and a preparation method of the steel, and relates to the technical field of steel preparation. The preparation method of the steel for the battery shell comprises the steps of converter treatment, LF refining, RH refining and
continuous casting. Starting from the whole preparation process, free
oxygen and the production
rhythm are controlled through LF refining, time production of RH refining and
continuous casting is achieved, converter end point free
oxygen control is coordinated, and generation of
molten steel inclusions is reduced; rH refining is momentalized and standardized,
continuous casting and
casting are implemented in a
steady state, and the amount of residual steel is controlled, so that secondary generation of inclusions and
pollution to
tundish molten steel are reduced. The steel for the battery case has the good characteristics of being good in ultra-
deep drawing high-
plasticity strain ratio, small in
anisotropy, high in surface quality and internal purity, fine and uniform in microscopic
grain structure and free of the sand hole defect, and is applied to the field of
smelting of high-purity steel. The device is expected to be applied to continuous unmanned large-scale production of the highest-speed shell
punching machine tool in the world, import substitution is achieved, and the product quality reaches the international advanced level.
