Abstract
Double soaking (DS) has been proposed as an alternate processing route for medium manganese steels. DS consists of soaking in the intercritical annealing region to stimulate manganese enrichment of austenite by depletion of ferrite followed by secondary soaking at a higher temperature and cooling to room temperature to obtain a martensite/austenite microstructure. DS is different from more traditional medium manganese heat treating which usually involves a single soaking step in the intercritical region to generate a ferrite/austenite microstructure. DS has been shown effective at generating attractive tensile properties notably tensile strength levels in excess of typically observed levels in medium manganese steels. A review of properties and microstructural evolution obtained by DS of medium manganese steels is presented here.
