Abstract

Twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steel offers high strength and ductility. However, in this study, deformation-induced detwinning was studied to prove that not all twins significantly benefit the mechanical properties. The quasi in situ observation results indicated that submicron-sized twins were unstable during Charpy impact loading. In contrast to the TWIP concept, analysis of the geometrically necessary dislocation evolution associated with detwinning revealed that unstable twins have negligible influence on the pile-ups of dislocations, offering a limited strengthening effect.
