Dislocations in titanium diboride

Abstract
In this investigation, it was shown that titanium diboride would plastically deform at a temperature of 1273 K and at a stress level much lower than predicted by previous experimental data. The crystal structure of titanium diboride is a topologically hexagonal structure which allows for a number of possible slip systems. Experimentally, it was observed that three slip directions were present: [0001], ⅓ and ⅓. The probable slip planes are (0001), {1010} and {1011}.
