The mechanical properties of twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steels are often assumed to be solely due to the reduction of the mean free path of glide dislocations resulting from deformation twinning. Other mechanisms may also play an essential role: Mn-C cluster formation, planar glide, pseudo-twinning, short range ordering, and dynamic strain ageing. The present contribution offers a critical analysis of the mechanical properties of high-Mn TWIP steels, especially in terms of Dynamic Strain Aging (DSA) and Static Strain Aging (SSA). The presentation offers new insights into the properties of TWIP steels which were obtained by using new experimental techniques such as in-situ strain analysis and high sensitivity infrared thermo-graphic imaging.
