In the ever evolving world of today where manufacturing sector is at a boost, the use of steel in recent times has gained paramount importance.As per the demand of consumers, various alterations can be made in the properties of steel by performing already known heat dissipation techniques and application can be well classified.Aim of the review is to collect the information about the effect of various heat treatments on the properties of steel especially the effect of quenching on the mechanical and physical properties of the steel.Along with quick cooling that is quenching, the review also highlights on the effect of other heat treatment processes like annealing, normalizing and tempering.The mechanical properties can easily be modified by heat treating the steel to suit a particular design purpose.In order to improve the properties, the steels have to be heat treated. The paper include the effect of the heat treatment on some properties of steel such as tensile strength, percentage elongation, micro-hardness, ultimate tensile strength, Grey relation co-efficient, fatigue characteristics, hardness test, micro-structure study, chemical composition, yield strength, impact energy, S-N behaviour, wear rate, toughness.The paper include the effect of the properties of steel in different quenching media such as water, oil, brine solution, etc.
