Purpose: of this paper is the effect of the soft annealing of initial microstructure of the 6Mn16 steel on the kinetics of the austenite formation during next intercritical annealing. Design/methodology/approach: Analytical TEM point analysis with EDAX system attached to Philips CM20 was used to evaluate the concentration of Mn, Ni and Cr in the microstructure constituents of the multiphase steel and mainly Bainite-Martensite islands. Findings: The increase in soft annealing time from 1-60 hours at 625*C increases Mn partitioning between ferrite and cementite and new formed austenite and decreases the rate of the austenite formation during next intercritical annealing in the (α+γ) temperature range at 700 and 750*C. The general equations for carbide dissolution and austenite formation in intercritical temperature range were established. Research limitations/implications: The final multiphase microstructure can be optimised by changing the time / temperature parameters of the intercritical heating in the (α+γ) temperature range. Originality/value: The knowledge of partitioning of alloying elements mainly Mn during soft annealing and intercritical heating is very important to optimise the processing technology of intercritical annealing for a given amount of the austenite.
