The invention discloses a smelting method of ZG06Cr13Ni4Mo steel. The smelting method comprises the following steps: S1, burdening calculation: total materials, furnace burden and alloy are calculated according to the amount of molten steel required by the product and are selected by taking 4 wt% of Ni as a target value, and the furnace burden comprises 25Cr2Ni4MoV return scraps, nickel-containing pig iron and high-quality scrap steel; S2, electric arc furnace rough smelting, specifically, furnace burden melting, dephosphorization and decarburization, pre-deoxidation, alloying, reduction and tapping are included, in the dephosphorization and decarburization step, when [C] is smaller than or equal to 0.02% and [P] is smaller than or equal to 0.003%, oxidizing slag is pulled away, and in the pre-deoxidation step, 5.0-6.0 kg/t steel of ferro-aluminum is added for pre-deoxidation after all oxidizing slag is pulled away; and S3, ladle refining, specifically, the total refining time is larger than or equal to 1 h, and hoisting-out pouring is conducted after refining. According to the method, the low-carbon stainless steel product with w (C) of 0.04-0.06% is produced through the electric arc furnace and the refining furnace, the technological process is simple, the smelting period is short, compared with VOD and AOD smelting processes, the equipment complexity is reduced, the smelting cost is low, the average oxygen content in the molten steel is 5.9 ppm, and the purity of the molten steel is improved.
