A directionally solidified TWIP steel (Fe-25Mn-2.5Al-2.5Si) was prepared by liquid metal cooling technology. The microstructure and mechanical behavior were examined and compared with usually solidified samples. The directionally solidified TWIP steel shows a typical columnar grain structure, and the maximum true stress and true strain along the longitudinal direction of the sample are 1060MPa and 71% respectively. As a comparison, the usually solidified samples shows an equiaxed grain microstructure with the maximum true stress and true strain of only 994MPa and 58%, respectively. Moreover, the two solidification modes also lead to very different strain hardening behavior, particularly in the changes of strain hardening rate with strain. This suggests that the grain boundary plays a key role in the mechanical properties of TWIP steels, and changing the grain boundaries can be effective to improve the comprehensive mechanical properties of TWIP steels.

The typical Fe-25Mn-3Si-3Al TWIP steel with different microstructure scale were investigated. It was found When the grains size is up to 35μm in the 25Mn-3Si-3Al TWIP steel samples, the twinning induced plasticity (TWIP) effect can fully developed and results in above 80% elongation. grain size had a strong effect on the mechanical properties. It was concluded that with increasing grain size ultimate tensile strength decreases, while elongation increases obviously.The annealing twin has the twin’s orientation, during deformation the annealing twin has get orientation ready for deformation twins

We investigate the influence of grain size on mechanical properties in a Fe-9Ni-12Mn-2.5Si-1.0C TWIP steel by unidirectional tensile. Meanwhile the microstructures of the TWIP steel were observed and analyzed by optical microscope (OM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The experimental results show that the TWIP steel’s yield strength and tensile strength decrease with the increasing of grain size, whereas the plasticity increases with it. When the average grain size reaches to 27μm, the tensile strength is 1080MPa, the elongation percentage is 77%, and the strength-plasticity product achieves the 83160MPa•%. Steel’s strain hardening rate can be changed from three-stage to four-stage with the increasing of grain sizes, the areas of strain hardening by twin deformation mechanism are expanded. Through the microstructure observation we found that, coarse-grained TWIP steel conducts to twinning formation, the high density twins can increase the alloy’s ductility by splitting the grain.
