A review is presented of work on deformation twinning in fcc metals. Experiments which prove the existence of deformation twins are described, the characteristics of the twins are reviewed, and the stresses required for their production are analyzed. The dislocation models which have been proposed to account for the nucleation of deformation twins are reviewed. A model is proposed for the propagation of twins. (D.L.C.)
