Dislocation cross-slip is difficult in those materials, which have___________________?

Correct answer: D. Low stacking fault energy

  • A. Large number of slip systems
  • B. High work hardening rate
  • C. Coarse grain size
  • D. Low stacking fault energy

Explanation

Cross-slip requires a dislocation to move from one slip plane to another, which is hindered when the stacking-fault energy is low. Low stacking-fault energy keeps the dislocation widely split into partial dislocations.
