Abstract
PREVIOUS work1 has indicated that the only metallographic features appearing during stage I of the deformation of single crystals of face-centred cubic metals (the ‘easy glide’ region) is slip on the (111) plane of maximum resolved shear stress (laminar flow2). The transition to stage II has been related to the appearance of slip on secondary (111) planes (turbulent flow2). However, it is known1 that the rate of hardening during stage I is dependent on the orientation of the axis of the specimen, particularly with respect to the [100]–[111] boundary of the basic stereographic triangle. This has led to the theoretical conclusion3 that some secondary slip must occur during stage I. This communication provides experimental confirmation.
