Values of the Taylor factor M and the corresponding lattice rotations for tension or compression have been computed for grains of various orientations postulated to slip on arbitrary planes in (Iii) directions. The stresses in each grain were first obtained by numerically maximizing the work expression subject to the constraints of the pencil-glide yield expressions. The derived value ofMave = 2.733 is slightly lower than in the case of mixed {I I0}, {i12}, a n d {123} , and {123}(Iii) slip. Furthermore, the average value ofM ac3182

cording to the present calculations, 2.733, is not much less than values computed by restricted-glide models with large numbers of slip systems. Chin and Mammel obtaineda value of 2.754 for their mixed slip model; Hutchinson computeda value of 2.748 for the case of twenty equally spaced planes for each (111> slip direction.II The magnitude of the difference between pencil glide (the limiting case of an infinite number of possible slip planes) and Hutchinson's model is less than the 1 pct he estimated. These results are summarized in Table I.

Since the slip process is assumed to be reversible, the results for tension are exactly the reverse of those for compression and all grains tend to rotate toward (110>. Where unique results are predicted for mixed {110, 112, and 123} (Iii> slip, 3 the lattice rotations are almost exactly the same as those calculated here. The data of Ref. 3 predict a
