The critical transformation temperature Ac1 and Ac3 of steel 2.25CrlMo0.25V steel under different heat treatment process conditions are studied by thermal expansion method. The results show that the critical transformation temperature of the steel annealed is 797.1 ℃ and 886.2 ℃, the critical transformation [KG*4]temperature [KG*4]of [KG*4]the [KG*4]steel [KG*4]quenched [KG*4]is 801.3 ℃ and 891.4 ℃ and the critical transformation temperature of the steel quenched and tempered is 809.2 ℃ and 898.7 ℃. Different structures affect the critical transformation temperature. So the influence of heat-treating process on the performance and structure should be considered.
