A related heat treatment method is characterized in that heat treatment is performed on a medium / high-
carbon steel continuous cast slab and a medium / high-
carbon alloy steel continuous cast slab. The medium / high-
carbon steel continuous cast slab comprises, in percent by
mass, 0.25-1.35% of C, 0.10-0.37% of Si, 0.25-0.80% of Mn, P <=0.035%, and S <=0.030%. The medium / high-
carbon alloy steel continuous cast slab comprises, in percent by
mass, 0.25-1.50% of C, 0.10-2.10% of Si, 0.30-2.60% of Mn, P <=0.035%, S <=0.035%, Cr <=4.50%, V <=1.20%, Mo <=1.20%, Ni <=4.60%, and B <=0.004%. The heat treatment steps comprise that the temperature of the slab entering a heat treatment furnace is 150 DEG C-850 DEG C, the slab heat-treatment warm-keeping temperature is 300-850 DEG C, the slab heat-treatment warm-keeping time is 3-40 hours, the temperature of the slab exhausted from the furnace after being subjected to heat treatment is 150-550 DEG C, the slab heat-treatment heating speed is 5-250 DEG C / h, and the slab heat-treatment
cooling speed is 5-100 DEG C / h. The continuous cast slabs subjected to heat treatment does not have crack defects.
