The deformation characteristics of KClO 4 single crystals have been studied by the methods of static and dynamic indentation on (001) plane. The cracks produced by the dynamic indentation have been interpreted in terms of slip‐twin interactions. Also, the load dependence of Vickers microhardness and its anisotropy in this crystal are reported. The observed hardness anisotropy has been used to confirm the indices of the slip system 〈101〉 〈111〉 operative in this crystal at ordinary temperatures.
