The metals which have the bcc structure at and below room temperature include iron, refractory metals of Groups VA and VIA, and alkali metals. Experimental and theoretical investigations of deformation behavior carried out in the last twenty years are reviewed. Attention is concentrated mainly on low temperature properties where many anomalous features have been discovered. The phenomena discussed include slip asymmetry, failure of the Schmid law of critical resolved shear stress, the observation of anomalous slip in very pure metals and alloys, solution softening, and the ductile-brittle transition.
