Abstract: Regarding the enviroment problem during stainless steel production, a new mode for stainless steel EAF slagging used recycled ferritic stainless steel dust was issued. The slagging agent were produced by the recycled ferritic stainless steel dust, and the EAF slaging process was developped. Application at the site, more than 5 t per furnace stainless steel dust are reclaimed，most metal iron in EAF slag are reclaimed and 3.85 % chromium losses are reduced in recycled ferritic stainless steel dust.

Key words: stainless steel, EAF, foamed slag, ferritic stainless steel dust
