The isothermal compression (1050 degrees C) of a 304-type austenite stainless has been employed to understand the roles of strain rates (0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10 s(-1)) and twinning in flow behaviors and microstructure evolution. Using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis, it was determined that the alloy underwent discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX) and continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) in low and high strain rate regimes, respectively. In the low strain rate regime, twinning contributed to the separation of the bulged region for dynamic recrystallization (DRX) nucleation, and Sigma 3 twin boundaries mainly formed by 'growth accident' during the subsequent growth of nuclei. In the high strain rate regime, twinning did not require boundaries migration, and altered the orientation of boundary fronts, thus promoting the extension of the DRX area. Grain size exponents in low and high strain rate regimes were calculated to be -0.68 and -2.9, respectively. It was also confirmed that different DRX mechanisms result in distinct evolution of grain size, and the dividing point was determined to be the strain rate of 0.1 s(-1).
