A quantitative analysis was made of the evolution of the dislocation-cell sub-structure during the deformation of face-centred cubic metals and alloys. Particular features were distinguished in the behaviour of pure metals and solid solutions having differing states of atomic order. The influence of temperature and grain size upon the main sub-structural parameters was studied. It was established that the dependence of cell-size upon dislocation density became less pronounced upon going from single crystals, to polycrystals with large or small grain sizes. An increase in deformation temperature was shown to have the same effect. The relationship between cell-size and the width of the cell walls was also examined.
