Abstract
The present study shows that warmly forged and low-temperature annealed twinning induced plasticity (TWIP) steel exhibited very high dislocation density and apparent yield-point phenomenon in addition to very high yield strength. The initial density of dislocations significantly affected the evolution of dislocations during the subsequent tensile deformation. Original high dense dislocations prompted the rapid increase of dislocations, and intensified the complexity of dislocation configurations. All these effects made the twinning deformation weakened but the dislocation deformation enhanced, leading to increased strength but decreased plasticity.
