The strain hardening and damage behavior of Al-added twinning induced plasticity (TWIP) steels were investigated.The study was focused on comparing two different alloying concepts by varying C and Mn contents with stacking fault energy (SFE) values of 24 mJ/m 2 and 29 mJ/m 2.The evolution of microstructure, deformation mechanisms and micro-cracks d
