What is the function of EN10155 S355J0W weathering steel plate normalizing

Low and medium carbon steel and EN10155 S355J0W weathering steel plate are normalized to improve cutting performance. As the production cycle of EN10155 S355J0W weathering steel plate normalizing is shorter than annealing and the operation is convenient, normalizing should be adopted as far as possible on the premise of meeting the processing requirements.

In order to eliminate secondary network cementite, hypereutectoid EN10155 S355J0W weathering steel plate was normalized before spheroidizing annealing.

For some non important work pieces with induction heating surface quenching, normalizing is sometimes used instead of quenching and high temperature tempering as preheat treatment.

Normalizing can be used as the final heat treatment of EN10155 S355J0W weathering steel plate for workpieces and castings with low requirements.
