Normalizing process of steel differ from the annealing process of steel with respect to heating temperature and cooling rate. In case of normalizing the steel is heated to a higher temperature and then removed from the furnace for air cooling. In comparison in case of annealing the heating temperatures are lower and the cooling take place in furnace at a much lower rate. Due to the faster cooling rate in case of normalizing, the steel possesses higher strength and hardness when compared with the steel which has undergone annealing treatment
