Chapter 4, Problem 4.47P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for the easy cross slip in $\text{BCC and FCC}$ metals than in $\text{HCP}$ metals and the effect of this on the ductility of $\text{BCC}$, $\text{FCC}$, and $\text{HCP}$ metals needs to the explained.

Concept Introduction:

Ductility is the property of metal to be streched into wires. The presence of slip intersection makes the material more ductile.
