 The term slip is given to the process of plastic

deformation by dislocation motion.
 The plane along which dislocation line traverses is
called slip plane

 Density of dislocation is represented by length of

dislocation mm per unit volume or number of
dislocations that intersects a unit area of a random
section.
Mechanism of  In carefully solidified metals it is 103 / mm2
slip  In heavy deformed metals it may be 109 to 1010 per
mm2
 Silicon single crystal used in integrated circuits the
value lies between 0.1 and 1 per mm2

 The movement of dislocation takes place on preferred

plane that is slip plane.
 The directions on which slip occurs are known as slip
directions.
 The combination of slip plane and slip directions is
Mechanism of called slip system.
slip  Slip systems depends on crystal structure of material.
 Slip occurs on the directions having highest linear
density and on the planes having highest planar
density.

 Critically resolved shear stress: The shear stress

resolved in the direction of slip to necessary to initiate
slip.
