TWIP 1 (0.6 C, 24 Mn) and TWIP 2 (0.6 C, 24 Mn, 1 Ni) steels were fabricated and annealed at 700, 800 and 900 degrees C for 150 minutes and then air-cooled. The results revealed that the Ni containing steel (TWIP 2) exhibits a higher yield strength and tensile strength than the steel TWIP 1. Carbide precipitations have been detected in the microstructure of TWIP 1 and TWIP 2 specimens annealed at 700 degrees C. However, the microstructure of the steel TWIP 1 annealed at 800 and 900 degrees C was fully austenitic and some grains included twins. It turned out that with the addition of Ni, the formation of twinning decreased in consequence of the annealing at 800 and 900 degrees C.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessHigh manganesenickelSFEcold rollingtwinningArticle10.3139/120.1108792-s2.0-850482504134175Q241358WOS:000376167900005Q4
