Process in which permanent deformation of metals occurs due to applied stress and results in breaking of bonds and then reforming of bonds with new neighbors. After removing of the stress, the metal does not return to its initial form.

Answer:

This process involves the motion of dislocations and is termed slip (or glide in some textbooks)

Step-by-step explanation:

Plastic deformation of metals (and other crystalline materials) usually occurs by slip, which is the sliding of planes of atoms over one another by dislocation movements.

On a microscopic scale, stress causes planes of crystalline objects to leave their original position and slide over other planes into new positions, these microscopic movements manifest as a slip on a macroscopic scale. And the planes do not return back to their original position after the removal of the dislocation-causing stress.
