Heat treatment process of Q355 steel
Annealing: Annealing involves heating Q355 steel to a temperature above its critical temperature and holding it at that temperature for a specific time, then slowly cooling it. The process helps refine the microstructure, eliminate internal stress, and improve machinability and ductility.
Normalizing: Normalizing is similar to annealing, but involves cooling the steel in still air instead of cooling it slowly. This process produces a more uniform microstructure and improves the mechanical properties of the steel, such as strength and toughness.
Quenching and tempering: Quenching involves rapid cooling of Q355 steel from high temperatures to room temperature, usually using water or oil. This process produces a hard, brittle structure called martensite. The steel is then tempered by reheating it to a specific temperature and holding it for a certain amount of time to reduce brittleness and increase toughness while maintaining the desired hardness level.
Isothermal quenching: Isothermal quenching is a heat treatment process that involves quenching Q355 steel to a temperature just above the martensitic starting temperature and holding it at that temperature for an extended period of time. This process results in a structure called bainite, which has both high strength and good ductility.

ASTM A572 Gr.50 steel is an American standard High strength Low alloy (HSLA) structural steel. It has a minimum yield strength of 345 MPa (50 ksi) and is commonly used in structural applications such as construction and Bridges. On the other hand, Q355 steel is a Chinese standard low-alloy high-strength structural steel. Although they have similar strength levels, the chemical composition and mechanical properties may differ.

Channel steel is a carbon structural steel used in construction and machinery, is a complex section of the section steel, its section shape is groove-shaped. Channel steel is mainly used in building structure, curtain wall engineering, mechanical equipment and vehicle manufacturing. In use, it is required to have better welding, riveting and comprehensive mechanical properties. The raw material billet for producing channel steel is carbon bonded steel or low alloy steel billet with carbon content not exceeding 0.25%. The finished channel steel is delivered by hot working, normalizing or hot rolling.
