A study on the controlling mechanism for plastic flow of polycrystalline silver is reported. Strain-rate change tests were performed on annealed silver and were used to determine the variation of product of activation area and the Burgers vector with strain at ambient temperature. The results are supportive of the intersection of dislocations as the controlling mechanism for plastic flow at low temperatures.
