The compressive creep deforrn;~tiort microstructure of polycrystalline Ni3AI h:is been observed by transnlission electron microscopy (TEM). ( 1 1 I ) rind ( 110) slip systems have been identified in primary creep. Dissociatiort of edge superparti:~l pairs perpendicular to the slip plane (both { 11 1 ) and ( 110) ) is common in crept specimens. I'he formation of this superdislocation...

Creep is a time-dependent viscoelastic deformation observed under a constant prolonged load. It has been indicated that progressive vertebral deformation due to creep may increase the risk of vertebral fracture in the long-term. The objective of this study was to examine the relationships of creep with trabecular architecture and tissue mineral density (TMD) parameters in human vertebral cancel...

The creep deformation and failure of high Cr steel component and weld is a challenging problem for power generation industries. There is a lack of good understanding of the precise nature and role of cavitation on the creep deformation and rupture. Creep damage constitutive equation developed either specifically developed for this type of steel or borrowed from existing one have been used in re...

The effects of surface pretreatment on the rate of scribe-creep caused by underpaint corrosion on coated AA2024-T3 (UNS A92024) were investigated. Scribe-creep experiments were conducted on epoxy polyamide-coated (average coating thickness: ~10 μm) AA2024-T3 in 80% relative humidity at 25°C, 40°C, and 50°C. Scribe-creep was observed to be enhanced by exposure test temperature regardless of surf...

Effects of W on the creep resistance of two nearly fully lamellar TiAl alloys with 1.0 and 2.0 at.% W have been investigated. In the low stress regime (LS) a nearly quadratic (1:5 < n < 2) creep behavior was observed. It is found that the addition of W can improve the creep resistance; however, the addition of excess W can result in the formation of b phase, which produces an adverse effect on ...

Creep damage is one of the serious problems for the high temperature industries and computational approach (such as continuum damage mechanics) has been developed and used, complementary to the experimental approach, to assist safe operation. However, there are no ready creep damage constitutive equations to be used for predicting the lifetime for this type of alloy, particularly for low stress...

Commercial, aluminum die-cast alloys are subject to long-term stresses leading to viscoelastic material responses resulting in inefficient engine operation and failure. Constant load creep tests were conducted on aluminum die-casting alloys: B-390, eutectic Al-Si and a 17% Si-Al alloys. Rupture occurred in the primary creep regime, with the eutectic alloy having the longest times to failure. Pr...

A simple model based on the Orowan equation and the dynamic evolution of the dislocation structure by generation and merging of slipped areas is used to see which experimental results on creep of pure and solute-hardened crystalline materials can or cannot be explained with regard to creep with refinement or coarsening of the dislocation structure and steady-state creep. Quantitative deficienci...
