    Performance and Characterization of TWIP Steels for Automotive Applications
    (ASTM International, 2013-08) Neu, Richard W.
    This article reviews the current state of the art in understanding TWinning--‐ Induced Plasticity (TWIP) steels with an emphasis on linking microstructure to the mechanical behavior through microstructure--‐aware constitutive models. A materials selection exercise is conducted to substantiate that TWIP steels are more desirable than most other materials for structural and safety components of automobiles. Gaps in the knowledge of TWIP steels that are hindering adoption for automotive applications are identified. This review concludes by suggesting fundamental research needs to promote the design of TWIP steels with improved properties and performance for structural components in automotive applications.
