The nature of the elastoplastic invariant of plastic flow, which connects the characteristics of the elastic and plastic components of deformation, is considered, and its connection with fundamental physical constants is established. It is shown that abrupt plastic deformation can be considered as a macroscopic quantum effect associated with the discreteness of the crystal lattice. Keywords: metals, localization, abrupt deformation, autowaves.
