Abstract
Slip occurs on {111} planes (close packed planes) along, <110> directions (close packed directions). There are 4 octahedral planes (111), (\(1\bar 11\)), (\(1 1\bar 1\)) and (\(\bar 1 1 1\)), 6 <110> directions in each octahedral plane. Each of the directions is common to two octahedral planes, resulting in a total of 12 slip systems. Slip is also possible on (100) along < \(10 \bar 1\)>. The number of independent slip systems is 12. Slip is illustrated in Figures 7.1 and 7.2.
