Autowave Plasticity of Metals and their Positions in the Periodic Table of Elements

General patterns of localized plastic flow development are described at linear work hardening stages of nineteen metals. Correlations between the position of the element in the periodic table of elements and the parameters of the autowave localized plastic flow have been established and discussed. The observed correlations indicate the existence of dependences of the localized plastic flow in a deformable medium on the lattice parameters of the elements and their electronic structures.
