What is the affect of doing the Heat treatment twice on the material?
Does it enhance the mechanical property or the opposite?

RE: the affect of doing the Heat treatment twice
It really depends on the material and your application (I hate to be general but it is very application specific). For example, most ferrous materials can be subjected to a re-heat treatment to correct past sins. It must be performed under controlled conditions to minimize distortion, and other high temperature effects like decarburization or oxidation of material along exposed surfaces.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, re-heat treatment can adversely effect the original properties that were intended in the material based on the original heat treatment.
If you provide more information, we might be able to help you. There are various types of heat treatment, as well.

- What type of heat treatment are you're referring to? Solution annealing followed by quench?; tempering? Quench and temper?, etc.
- What type of material is involved?
