abstract = {This study explores the effect of fast heating annealing
(FHA) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of
V-microalloyed high-Mn TWIP steel. Cold-rolled sheets were
subjected to FA cycles at a heating rate of 200 °C/s over a
temperature range of 700–900 °C for 30 s. The
microstructures achieved through FHA were characterized
using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), while
mechanical performance was evaluated through uniaxial
tensile testing and physically based modeling.FHA at lower
temperatures (700–800 °C) promoted partially
recrystallized structures, while fully recrystallized
ultrafine-grained microstructures were obtained at 850–900
°C. The optimized structure achieved at 850 °C showcased
an exceptional strength–ductility balance, with a yield
strength of 415 MPa, tensile strength of 850 MPa, and
elongation of 60 $\%,$ resulting in a high UTS × TE product
of 50700 $MPa·\%.$ Fractographic analysis revealed ductile
failure dominated by dimple formation, with voids nucleated
at non-metallic inclusions.Inclusion classification and
statistical analysis further identified Al2O3–Mn(S,Se) as
the most dominant inclusion type, with complex multiphase
clusters also observed, indicating their role in damage
initiation. The applied mechanistic modeling and
strain-hardening analysis confirmed that dynamic
Hall–Petch strengthening, driven by mechanical twinning
and grain refinement, significantly enhanced strain
hardening and delayed plastic deformation instability.These
findings demonstrate that FHA offers a viable,
time-efficient processing strategy for tailoring
microstructure and optimizing the mechanical performance of
high-Mn TWIP steels through controlled recrystallization,
twin activation, and precipitation strengthening.},
