The high-Cr-containing metal according to the present invention is a chromium-containing
metal manufactured in an arc melting furnace, and contains at least 85% Cr, up
to 0.005% Al, up to 0.1% Si, and up to 0.002% S. The manufacturing method of this
high-Cr-containing metal comprises the steps of reducing chromium oxides heated
and melted in the arc melting furnace with Si, obtaining a molten metal containing
at least 85% Cr, then, discharging slag generated in this Si reduction from the
arc melting furnace, adding a basic flux into the arc melting furnace after discharging
slag, melting the basic flux by electric arc, refining the molten metal by contacting
the slag generated through melting of the basic flux with the molten metal, and
then, tapping the molten metal from the arc melting furnace and cast.
