Intercritical Heat treatment (IHT) of materials has shown significant effect on their various properties. Improvement in the various properties like increase in wear resistance, reduced residual stresses, increase in hardness, increase in tensile strength, ductility improvement, fatigue resistance, toughness imparted by formation of ferrite & martensite dual phase structure. Different approaches have been applied for heat treatment to study the effect on different types of steel and other materials. In recent years, researchers have tried to evaluate the process to optimize the parameters. This paper brings out the comprehensive analysis of the strategies followed in IHT and their significant effects on properties of materials. The final part of the paper discusses the effect of Intercritical Heat Treatment (IHT) on mechanical behaviour, micro structural changes and corrosion behaviour of different steels
