Abstract
Twinning nucleation in a medium Mn austenitic steel containing precipitates is studied at low strain ~ 0.02, using transmission electron microscopy. In the near vicinity of the precipitates, unfaulting dislocation reaction is favored, while twinning is activated farther from the precipitates. Twin nucleation follows a hybrid mechanism, involving creation of stacking faults through classical dislocation dissociation, while those stacking faults subsequently overlapped following a non-classical alternated stacking fault pair mechanism to create a three-layer twin nucleus. The observed twinning behavior is interpreted from an energy barrier variation viewpoint within the matrix.
