The strain rate sensitivity {beta} of the flow stress {tau} is associated with work hardening and {beta} = ({delta}{tau}/{delta}ln {dot {var_epsilon}}) is proportional to the work hardening increment {tau}{sub h} = {tau} {minus} {tau}{sub y}, where {tau}{sub y} is the strain rate independent yield stress. The temperature dependence of {beta}/{tau}{sub h} reflects changes in the rate controlling mechanism. At intermediate and high temperatures, the hardening correlates with the density of [{bar 1}01] dislocations on (010). The nature of the local obstacles at room temperature is not established.
