Normalizing process

In this video I have explained Normalizing heat treatment process in detail.
🗡Normalizing is very similar to annealing as both involve heating a metal to or above its recrystallization temperature and allowing it to cool slowly in order to create a microstructure that is relatively ductile. The main difference between annealing and normalizing is that annealing allows the material to cool at a controlled rate in a furnace. Normalizing allows the material to cool by placing it in a room temperature environment and exposing it to the air in that environment.

📍This difference means normalizing has a faster cooling rate than annealing. The faster cooling rate can cause a material to have slightly less ductility and slightly higher hardness value than if the material had been annealed. Normalizing is also generally less expensive than annealing because it does not require additional furnace time during the cool down process.

This will provide you a better understanding about Normalizing.
