Tremendous efforts have been made to explore their unusual hardening behavior which involves complex dislocation-twin interaction, dislocation-dislocation interaction, dislocation- grain boundary interaction and dislocation-solid atom interaction. Nevertheless, the individual hardening effects of twins, dislocations, grain boundaries and solid solution to the high strength of TWIP steels are still unclear. In order to answer this question, the flow stress of a TWIP steel wasexperimentally decomposed into the respective contributions of twins, dislocations, grain boundaries and solid solution in the present study. For the determination of forest hardening, synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiments with line profile analysis were carried out to measure the dislocation density. It is found that the yield stress of the present TWIP steel is controlled by solid solution and grain boundary hardening,which contribute to 238.3 and 238.5 MPa of the flow stress, respectively. After yielding, the work
