Plastic Deformation

· The (a/3)[110] dislocation is the Cottrell-Lomer dislocation
· The line vector of this dislocation is in the < 112 > direction, and the Burgers vector is in the [110] direction, to give a (001) glide plane. This is not a slip plane of the fcc crystal and the dislocation cannot glide.
· Both {111} slip planes are blocked by this Cottrell-Lomer dislocation, increasing the work hardening rate.
