The d e f o r m a t i o n of iodide t i t a n i u m s i n g l e c r y s t a l s c o n t a i n i n g 200 to 250 ppm O, was s t u d i e d in c o m p r e s s i o n at t e m p e r a t u r e s f r o m 25 ~ to 800~ Reduction of about 5 pct along the c axis was a c c o m m o d a t e d a l m o s t e n t i r e l y by {1122} t w i n n i n g f r o m 25 ~ to 300~ and above 400~ by {10il} t w i n n i n g in c o m b i n a t i o n with c + a slip. The s t r e s s for {1152} twinning i n c r e a s e d with i n c r e a s i n g t e m p e r a t u r e , and twin f o r m a t i o n was a c c o m p a n i e d b y a load drop, while the s t r e s s for {10il} t w i n n i n g d e c r e a s e d with i n c r e a s i n g t e m p e r a t u r e and twinning was not a c c o m p a n i e d by a load drop. C r y s t a l s r e d u c e d n o r m a l to the c axis d e f o r m e d by a c o m b i n a t i o n of p r i s m slip and {10i2} twinnir,g at 25~ and by p r i s m slip alone above 500~ T H E p l a s t i c a n i s o t r o p y of p o l y c r y s t a l l i n e hop m e t a l s is a r e f l e c t i o n of w e l l - d e v e l o p e d d e f o r m a t i o n t e x t u r e s .

A change in length along the c a x i s is not p o s s i b l e with (1120) slip alone, but r e q u i r e s a slip d i r e c t i o n lying out of the b a s a l plane. Such slip h a s not been o b s e r v e d in high p u r i t y t i t a n i u m , but has b e e n r e p o r t e d in c o m m e r c i a l l y p u r e t i t a n i u m and in Ti-A1 a l l o y s 2,a to r e s u l t f r o m the motion of 1/3(1123), or c + a d i s l o c a t i o n s . Slip along (1123) has also been r e p o r t e d in c a d m i u m a and zinc 4 at r o o m t e m p e r a t u r e , and in b e r y l l i u m at elevated t e m p e r a t u r e . 5-~ A length change along the c axis can also be a c c o m p l i s h e d by twinning. In t i t a n i u m , {10i2}, {1121}, and {1123} t w i n s allow an e x t e n s i o n along the c axis, while {1122}, {11~.4},a'9 and {10il} ~~twins p e r m i t a r e d u c t i o n .
