Abstract

The effectiveness of transformation‐induced plasticity (TRIP)/twinning‐induced plasticity (TWIP) effects in Fe–0.06C–26Mn–3Si–3Al advanced ferrous alloy is analyzed over a wide temperature range of −40 to 200 °C. The specific deformation mechanisms in the steel are experimentally investigated and predicted using thermodynamic calculations of stacking fault energy (SFE). These predictions were correlated with the microstructure of the steel and its mechanical behavior. The study finds that applied thermodynamic models effectively predict the occurrence of TRIP/TWIP effects at different deformation temperatures, aligning well with experimental observations in terms of ε/α′ martensite formation, indicative of the TRIP mechanism. Some discrepancies in SFE results are observed at Mn contents significantly higher or lower than the nominal composition of steel.
