Abstract
A model for plastic deformation in soft metals, i.e. metals which are not age-hardened or severely cold-worked, is given. It is based on the assumption that in real crystals there is always a number of regions present which, by an unknown process, act as sources of dislocations. Furthermore, it is assumed that in soft metals dislocations are very mobile except in a limited number of regions which act as obstacles. The model is applied to explain a number of facts connected with plastic deformation.
