In the present work, advanced high strength and high ductility TRIP/TWIP steels with different manganese concentrations were studied. The microstructures of these steels were evaluated prior to and after deformation and the mechanical properties of these steels were determined. The microstructure analysis indicated that both TRIP and TWIP effects appeared in the steel with lower Mn content, while the TWIP effect was the dominant deformation mechanism in the steel with a higher Mn content, with many deformation twins formed during the deformation. In addition, the forming limit diagrams of these steels were recorded and the results showed an excellent formability.
