Theory of Deformation Textures in the Body-Centred Cubic Metals

Abstract

According to the experimentl results on the single crystals, the body-centred cubic metals deformed by means of slip to the direction <111> on the plane {110}, {112} or {123}. The deformation textures are derived theoretically from this fact by the same methods, which have been applied in the previous paper on the face-centred cubic metals. The results are in good agreement with the observed textures.
