The microstructure and mechanical properties of a Fe–15Mn–1.5Al–0.6C TWIP steel with and without rare earth (RE) addition were investigated. The RE-alloyed steel showed both improved tensile strength and total elongation (TEL). Optical microscopy and electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) characterizations showed that the RE-alloyed steel possessed a more homogeneous microstructure and a larger fraction of high-angle grain boundaries, which increased the TEL. Meanwhile, EBSD and transmission electron microscope (TEM) analyses indicated that the RE-alloyed steel exhibited more uniform distributed annealing twins and secondary annealing twins with a thickness of 10–20 nm appeared in some grains, which resulted in the higher tensile strength.
