The invention provides a production method of copper-containing steel. The production method comprises settling treatment, smelting reduction treatment, steel-making treatment and forming treatment. The settling treatment comprises the following steps: putting to-be-treated copper slag in a heating reduction area of a heating settling furnace to be heated to 1300-1600 DEG C; and then feeding the heated copper slag into a settling area to be settled, wherein noble metals and copper matte are separated from the copper slag. The smelting reduction treatment comprises the following steps: puttingthe settled copper slag in a reduction furnace; adding a slag former and heating a material in the reduction furnace to a melted state; and then blowing a reducer to the reduction furnace for a smelting reduction reaction to obtain copper-containing molten iron. The steel-making treatment comprises the step of putting the copper-containing molten iron in an electric furnace to make steel to obtaincopper-containing molten steel. Refining treatment comprises the step of refining the copper-containing molten steel to obtain the refined molten steel. The forming treatment comprises the step of forming the refined molten steel to obtain the copper-containing steel. The method can obtain the copper-containing steel which is relatively high in value by comprehensively utilizing copper and iron in the copper slag, so that the method has a very good industrial prospect.
