Abstract

The existence of an abnormal transition in the strain-rate sensitivity of yield stress occurring at the strain rate \(\sim 0.05\) s–1 of a C-added twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steel is demonstrated for the first time. The theoretical model in this work shows that the yielding of C-added TWIP steels is governed by the kink-pair nucleation mechanism overcoming the pinning of C solutes at a critical strain rate. However, the yielding at quasi-static strain rates \(({\dot{\epsilon }}<0.05\) s–1) is controlled by the C solute dragging mechanism. The present model highlights the fundamental role of C-dislocation interaction in the deformation mechanism of TWIP steels.
