Abstract

A systematic investigation of the evolution of deformation microstructure and texture of twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steel during cold rolling has been carried out using electron backscatter diffraction and X-ray diffraction, as well as viscoplastic self-consistent simulations. It is found that extensive twinning leads to the formation of the strong Brass {110}〈112〉 and Goss {110}〈001〉 components in TWIP steel even at low strains. At higher reduction, heterogeneous deformation contributes to further strengthening of Brass (Bs) component. The origin and stability of Bs component as well as the impact of the evolution of texture and microstructure on mechanical anisotropy is further explored using viscoplastic self-consistent simulations.
