Abstract
The specific features of the slip geometry in b.c.c. metals are reviewed. The properties of sessile and glissile splittings of screw dislocations on both {110} and {112} planes are then discussed and a dislocation theory of the slip geometry in b.c.c. metals, based on thermally activated sessile–glissile transformations of screw dislocations to different {110} and {112} planes, is introduced.
