The creep behavior of oxide dispersed alloys can be described by the following equation:where ε is steady state creep rate, σ applied stress, R gas constant, T temperature in °K, Qc activation energy for creep, n stress exponent, A and n are constants.Two unusual observations in the case of O.D. alloys are that Qc and n take on values that have not been explained satisfactorily. This investigation was undertaken to explain the unusually high strength, high Qc and high stability (high value of n) in the oxide dispersed alloys.

Dense polycrystalline Bi2Sr1.7CaCu2Ox (2212) was deformed from 780–835 °C in oxygen partial pressures, Po2, of 103 to 2 × 104 Pa. Results could be divided into two stress regimes: one at lower stress in which the steady-state creep rate, ∊, was proportional to stress, γ, having an activation energy of 990 ± 190 kJ/mole and being independent of PO2, and another at higher stress in which ∊ was proportional to σn, with n ≍ 5–6. Transmission electron microscopy supported the interpretation that in the lower-stress viscous regime, creep was controlled by diffusion, whereas dislocation glide and microcracking were responsible for strain accommodation at higher stresses.

ABSTRACTCompressive creep behavior is investigated In polycrystalline Ni3Al intermetallic compounds in which the focus is put on the effect of offstoichiometry and ternary additions of Ti, Ta, V and Co on the creep resistance of the compounds. In all cases, the steady-state creep rate has the power-law type dependence on the applied stress. The stress exponent thereby obtained leads us to regard the creep behavior of the compound to be of the Class I type. It is shown that the creep resistance Increases with increasing Ni concentration on both sides of the stoichiometric Ni3Al composition and a discontinuity exists in the variation at stoichiometry. The gap at the discontinuity becomes clearer by the addition of ternary element in most cases as compared to the binary Ni3Al. Although the exact reason for the phenomenon is not clearly understood at present, it is shown that it could be interpreted by the concentration dependence of activation energy in the power-law type creep equation.

In the present work, Zn-1.0Cu-0.2Ti alloy was prepared by melt casting and extruding processes. High temperature creep property of the alloy was determined using electronic creep relaxation testing machine. Microstructures of the alloy before and after creep test were observed and its high temperature creep mechanism was discussed. The results show that the steady-state creep rate of the alloy increases with temperature and stress. The logarithm of steady-state creep rate (ln) shows a linearity relationship with the logarithm of the stress (lnσ) and reciprocal of temperature (1/T). The stress exponent and apparent activation energy for creep have been determined to be 5.10 and 83.7 kJ/mol, separately. The predominant mechanism is mainly self-diffusional creep. The second phases on the grain boundary can block the slip of grain boundary and dislocation motion which can improve creep resistance of the alloy.

The steady-state creep rate increases with temperature according to the Arrhenius equation and its increase with applied stress is mostly described by the power law. Combining both these laws, equation ) exp( RT Qa n − µ s e& is obtained, where apparent activation energy a Q and stress sensitivity parameter n are considered to be constants. But most measurements show some dependence of activation energy on applied stress and of stress sensitivity parameter on temperature. An equation respecting these facts is derived in the paper and verified using some published results of creep tests. Based on this derived equation, the dependence of yield stress on temperature and strain rate and an equation describing the relaxation curves are deduced.

YBa2Cu3Ox was deformed from 850 to 980 °C in oxygen partial pressures of 103 to 105 Pa. Steady-state creep rate, ̇, for P(O2) from 104 to 105 Pa could be expressed as ̇ = Aσ1.0 (GS)−2.8±0.6 exp −(970 ± 130 kJ/mole)/RT, where A is a constant, σ the steady-state stress, GS the average grain size, and R and T have their usual meanings, For P(O2) from 103 to 3 ⊠ 103 Pa, the activation energy decreased to about 650 kJ/mole and for a given temperature creep kinetics were much faster. The data and microscopic observations indicated that creep occurred by diffusional flow. Comparisons with diffusion data for YBa2Cu3Ox suggested that Y or Ba may be rate-controlling diffusing species.

ABSTRACTNb-15A1-20V alloys with about 45% by volume of an A15 phase in a B2 matrix have been subjected to creep deformation at temperatures between 1000°C and 1200°C and stresses from 80 MPa to 240 MPa in vacuum. The creep curves show a rapid transition from primary to steady-state creep with a well-defined activation energy. Microstructural observations show that the creep deformation occurs mainly in the B2 matrix and is controlled by dislocation mechanisms. Samples which had been coldrolled and annealed to reduce the size of A 15 precipitates and increase the yield strength were found to have lower creep resistance than those with unrefined microstructures. The significance of these observations for the creep mechanisms is discussed.
