Based on a limited energy storage viewpoint proposed by our team, it is assumed that there is a maximum constant value for the maximum storage of energy per unit volume when dislocation slip starts in a metal. A temperature-dependent critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) model without any fitting parameters is developed for metals in a pure shear mode. The CRSSs of Cu, Cu-Au, Cu-Co and Cu-Au-Co in the pure shear mode are predicted, and are in excellent agreement with the experimental results. This work offers an approach to predict the temperature-dependent CRSS for metals in the pure shear mode.
