Creep mechanism of highly purified V–4Cr–4Ti alloys during thermal creep in a vacuum

Thermal-cycling creep of g-TiAl-based alloys

In two-phase TiAl-based alloys, the coexisting 2 and phases exhibit a thermal expansion mismatch, so that increased creep rates during thermal cycling may be expected. Creep deformation of two g-TiAl-based alloys was investigated during thermal cycles between 900 and 300 or 350 C with applied tensile stresses of 32.5 or 37.0 MPa. Measured thermal cycling creep rates were compared with isotherma...

A Creep Model for Solder Alloys

Demand for long-term reliability of electronic packaging has lead to a large number of studies on viscoplastic behavior of solder alloys. Various creep models for solder alloys have been proposed. They range from purely empirical to mechanism based models where dislocation motion and diffusion processes are taken into account. In this study, most commonly used creep models are compared with the...

Creep of Aluminium and Aluminium Alloys

This chapter constitutes an introduction to creep and to the creep response of Aluminium and its alloys. Its major goals are: to provide basic information on creep and its mechanisms to give a description of the more extensively used mathematical relations among creep variables (time, stress and temperature) to illustrate the creep response of pure Aluminium and of Al-Mg alloys to provide a syn...

Environmental effects on irradiation creep behavior of highly purified V-4Cr-4Ti alloys (NIFS-Heats) irradiated by neutrons

Autonomous Repair Mechanism of Creep Damage in Fe-Au and Fe-Au-B-N Alloys

The autonomous repair mechanism of creep cavitation during high-temperature deformation has been investigated in Fe-Au and Fe-Au-B-N alloys. Combined electron-microscopy techniques and atom probe tomography reveal how the improved creep properties result from Au precipitation within the creep cavities, preferentially formed on grain boundaries oriented perpendicular to the applied stress. The s...
