An extension of the Kocks–Mecking model of work hardening to include kinematic hardening and its application to solutes in ferrite

It is well known that the addition of a solute can change both work-hardening characteristics and yield stress; however, there are few available models which describe the role of a solute in relation to both the isotropic and kinematic aspects of work hardening. The current work extends the well-established approach of Kocks and Mecking to include the occurrence of cross slip and its dependence on solute content. The proposed model is compared …
