Plastic Deformation

· The diagram shows the effect of intersection on two screw dislocations on orthogonal slip planes. Each dislocation picks up a jog equal in magnitude and direction to the Burgers vector of the dislocation it intersects.
· In this case, the two jogs are of edge character and have a length of one interatomic spacing.
· The edge-type jog on the moving dislocation has a slip plane (that contains b, t) that is normal to the slip plane in which the screw dislocation is gliding. · The jog can only follow the moving screw by the slow climb process and is essentially fixed in the crystal where it is formed.
