Bulk nickel samples, produced by electrodeposition, resulting in different initial structure properties, were experimentally studied by X-ray diffraction, as well as by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Attempts are made to correlate the mechanical behaviour during cyclic plastic deformation with the response of the microstructure. A special effort is made to examine the influence of grain size and internal stresses on the deformation processes.
