Abstract: Different spheroidizing annealing processes of the S55C steel were carried out and the microstructure and hardness were studied. The results show that after holding at 740 ℃ for 5 h, slowly cooling to 700 ℃ for 5 h at a cooling rate of ≤20 ℃/h, and then slowly cooling to 680 ℃ for 5 h at a cooling rate of ≤40 ℃/h, and then air cooling, the microstructure of the S55C steel is spherical pearlite, the spheroidization rate is ≥90%, and the hardness value is 165 HBW, which meet the requirements of the customer.

Key words: S55C steel, spheroidizing annealing, spheroidization rate
