Normalization
Removes the effects of the previous heat treatments from steel.
Pros
Cons
Normalization involves the heating of metal to a temperature 50-70 C° above the austenitizing one.
This homogenizes the grain of metal and removes the effects of previous heat treatments of mechanical treatments.
It is similar to annealing, but has faster cooling.
Common usages
Homogenizes the grain of metal and removes the effects of previous treatments.
