Austenitic Steels with TWIP Effect

  • Chapter
Advanced High Strength Sheet Steels

Abstract

High-Mn austenitic steels with twinning-induced plasticity demonstrate the highest combination of strength and elongation although their commercialization delayed. This chapter contains fundamentals of TWIP phenomenon, features of deformation mechanism, and strain hardening, as well as the role of grain size, alloying, and microalloying. Impacts of temperature of testing and strain rate are presented. Propensity to delayed fracture and found ways to suppress it are discussed.
