What is the miCRostructure of twinning induced plasticity steel?

Twin-induced plasticity (TWIP) steel is a high-strength steel that exhibits excellent ductility and strength due to the twinning mechanism. The miCRostructure of TWIP steel is characterized by a single-phase austenite structure.

The unique properties of TWIP steels arise from the interaction of dislocations and deformation twins. Deformation twins are CRystal defects that form in response to plastic deformation and consist of mirror-image regions of the lattice separated by twin boundaries. These twins act as obstacles to dislocation motion and inCRease resistance to deformation. In TWIP steel, the existence of a large number of stacking faults and partial dislocations promotes the formation and propagation of deformation twins.

What are the product characteristics of twinning induced plasticity steel?

TWIP steel is a fully austenitic steel with high C, high Mn and high Al components. Extremely high work hardening capability is achieved through twin-induced dynamic refinement. TWIP steel has ultra-high strength and ultra-high plasticity, and the strength-plasticity product can reach more than 50GPa%.
