“It is because the metal is an aggregate of irregular crystals that it is plastic as a whole, and is able to be deformed in any manner as a result of the slips occurring in individual crystals. Plasticity requires that each portion should be able to change its shape and its position. Each crystalline grain changes its shape through slips occurring within itself, and its position through slips occurring in other grains.”
