ABSTRACTTin films were deposited on silicon substrates by RF diode sputtering and the growth behavior of these films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The time dependent plastic flow behavior in these films were examined by performing indentation tests using a dcpth-scnsing hardness testing machine. Individual indentation experiments with different constant load segments were conducted and the creep characteristics of both sputtered films and bulk Sn were examined. The stress exponents determined from these tests were compared with those determined for bulk Sn from conventional creep tests. The influence of the substrate material on the creep properties of the film are described.

AbstractConstant loading rate/load indentation tests (1/P dP/dt) and constant rate of loading followed by constant load (CRL/Hold) indentation creep tests have been conducted on high purity electropolished indium. It is shown that for a material with a constant hardness as a function of depth, a constant (1/P dP/dt) load-time history results in a constant indentation strain rate (1/h dh/dt). The results of the two types of tests are discussed and compared to data in the literature for constant stress tensile tests. The results from the constant (1/P dP/dt) experiments appear to give the best correlation to steady-state uniaxial data.

Field data are reported that describe the load–strain–time relationship of geogrid reinforcement in a reinforced soil structure. The data are for a period exceeding 5 years and reveal a continued strain in the reinforcement, which occurs at nearly constant load. The response to loading is attributed to creep of the polymeric material. A comparison of the field data with laboratory isochronous load–strain curves, from rapid loading creep tests performed at a temperature similar to the mean annual temperature in the backfill soil, shows the curves describe very well the magnitude of creep strains observed in the field. Implications of the load–strain–time performance data are assessed with reference to the use in design of a tensile strength established from the rapid-loading creep test and wide-width strip test. The need to clarify, in design of polymeric reinforced soil structures, between a safe and allowable tensile strength is emphasized. Key words : reinforced soil, geogrid, creep, tensile strength, strain.

Thermomechanical and electrical properties of zirconia-based ceramics have led to a wide range of advanced and engineering ceramic applications like solid electrolyte in oxygen sensors, fuel cells and furnace elements and its low thermal conductivity has allowed its use for thermal barrier coatings for aerospace engine components. A comparison between CoNiCrAlY bond coat and zirconia plasma sprayed coatings on creep tests of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy was studied. The material used was commercial Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Yttria (8 wt.%) stabilized zirconia (YSZ) with a CoNiCrAlY bond coat was atmospherically plasma sprayed on Ti-6Al-4V substrates by Sulzer Metco Type 9 MB. Constant load creep tests were conducted on a standard creep machine in air on coated samples, at stress levels of 520 MPa at 500°C to evaluate the oxidation protection on creep of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Results indicate that the creep resistance of the ceramic coating was greater than metallic coating.

The application of Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) devices to practical uses need well established performance. The reliable application in some areas, as dampers in engineering, needs a known, relatively long fatigue life (some million oscillations). The thermomechanical properties of SMA, based on their martensitic transformation, made them attractive to use for damping, taking advantage of the pseudoelastic window and hysteresis on transforming-retransforming. Due to size effects and to the fact that fatigue failure in metallic NiTi usually comes from a defect inducing crack growth, fatigue has to be studied for concrete applications, with the correct samples. The present work points out the possibility to apply NiTi to dampers and actuators. Testing machine experiments indicate that the main parameter controlling fatigue life is the effective stress on the NiTi wire. Long wire life (in the million cycle regime) can be achieved under limited stresses (around or under 200 MPa). Also, experiments have been done on thermal actuation of NiTi wire under traction at constant load. The results demonstrate that long actuator life (larger than 300000 cycles) can be achieved at low stresses (around 100 MPa), coherently with the mechanical cycling. From our results, NiTi is useful to effectively damp vibrations even at relatively low stresses and strains. The experimental results from facilities (cable No. 1 in ELSA-JRC, Ispra, Italy, and IFSTTAR test cable, near Nantes, France) confirm that NiTi wire is able to damp stayed cables.

Abstract This paper discusses the various methods which have been proposed to determine safe working stresses for high-temperature service. The question of the stability of alloys during the test and in subsequent service is considered, with particular emphasis upon probable changes in creep characteristics during long exposure to stress and temperature. It is shown that published data in general do not admit of extrapolation, and that attempts to estimate total creep in service from such data are not usually satisfactory. The author stresses the need for more fundamental study of the laws governing creep rather than creep tests of many different materials.

Constant load creep experiments were conducted using a depth-sensing indentation instrument with indentation depths in the submicron range. Experiments were conducted on polycrystalline Sn and sputtered Al films on Si substrates. The results show that the plastic depth versus time curves and the strain rate versus stress plots from these experiments are analogous to those obtained from conventional creep experiments using bulk specimens. The value of the stress exponent for Sn is close to the reported values from uniaxial creep tests. Tests on Al films showed that the stress exponent is dependent on the indentation depth and is governed by the proximity to the film/substrate interface. Load change experiments were also performed and the data from these tests were analyzed. It is concluded that indentation creep experiments may be useful in elucidating the deformation properties of materials and in identifying deformation mechanisms.

ABSTRACTGermanium is because of its intrinsically higher mobility than Si, currently under consideration as an alternative approach to improve transistor performance. Germanium oxide, however, is thermodynamically unstable, preventing formation of the gate dielectric by simple oxidation. At present, high-k dielectrics might be considered as an enabling technology as much progress has been made in the deposition of thin high-quality layers.In this paper, we study the growth and physical properties of HfO2 deposited on Ge by MOCVD, using TDEAH and O2 as precursors, and compare the results to similar layers deposited on silicon substrates. Our results show that the physical properties of MOCVD-deposited HfO2 layers on Ge are very similar to what we have observed in the past for Si. Unfortunately, some of the negative aspects observed for Si, such as diffusion of substrate material in the high-k layer, a low density for thinner layers, or a rough top surface, are also observed for the case of Ge. However, careful surface pretreatments such as NH3 annealing the Ge substrate prior to deposition, can greatly improve the physical properties. An important observation is the very thin interfacial layer between HfO2 and Ge substrate, allowing a more aggressive scaling for Ge.

The titanium affinity by oxygen is one of main factors that limit the application of their alloys as structural materials at high temperatures. Notables advances have been obeserved in the development of titanium alloys with the objective of improving the specific high temperature strength and creep-resistance properties. However, the surface oxidation limits the use of these alloys in temperatures up to 600°C. The objective of this work was estimate the influence of the plasma-sprayed coatings for oxidation protection on creep of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy, focusing on the determination of the experimental parameters related to the primary and secondary creep states. Constant load creep tests were conducted with Ti-6Al-4V alloy in air for coated and uncoated samples and in nitrogen atmosphere for uncoated samples at 500°C to evaluate the oxidation protection on creep of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Yttria (8 wt.%) stabilized zirconia (YSZ) with a CoNiCrAlY bond coat was atmospherically plasma sprayed on Ti-6Al-4V specimens. Results indicated the creep resistance of the coated alloy was greater than uncoated in air, but nitrogen atmosphere was more efficient in oxidation protection. Previously reported results about the activation energies and the stress exponents values indicate that the primary and stationary creep, for both test conditions, was probably controlled by dislocation climb. Occurred a decreasing of steady state creep in function of the reduction of oxidation process, showing that Ti-6Al-4V alloy lifetime was strongly affected by the atmosphere due the oxidation suffered by the material.

Previous deformation experiments on halite have collectively explored different creep mechanisms, including dislocation creep and pressure solution. Here, we use an alternative to conventional uniaxial or triaxial deformation experiments—nanoindentation tests—to measure the hardness and creep behavior of single crystals of halite at room temperature. The hardness tests reveal two key phenomena: (1) strain rate-dependent hardness characterized by a value of the stress exponent of ~25, and (2) an indentation size effect, whereby hardness decreases with increasing size of the indents. Indentation creep tests were performed for hold times ranging from 3600 to 106 s, with a constant load of 100 mN. For hold times longer than 3 × 104 s, a transition from plasticity to power-law creep is observed as the stress decreases during the hold, with the latter characterized by a value of the stress exponent of 4.87 ± 0.91. An existing theoretical analysis allows us to directly compare our indentation creep data with dislocation creep flow laws for halite derived from triaxial experiments on polycrystalline samples. Using this analysis, we show an excellent agreement between our data and the flow laws, with the strain rate at a given stress varying by less than 5% for a commonly used flow law. Our results underscore the utility of using nanoindentation as an alternative to more conventional methods to measure the creep behavior of geological materials.

Good Creep Resistance

Ti-6Al-4V alloy has been considered in applications of aeronautical and aerospace industries, due to its properties such as high specific resistance, good creep resistance and metallurgical stability. However, its use in applications for high temperatures is restricted due to its great affinity with the oxygen, which results in the formation of oxide layers and limits its mechanical resistance at these conditions. Thus, specific treatments have been employed in the material to work as surface barriers to avoid the oxygen diffusion in the alloy under high temperature conditions. One surface treatment that can be used is laser nitriding. In the present work, the surface of Ti-6Al-4V alloy with Widmanstätten microstructure was nitrided by applying Nd:YAG laser focal with 0.6 mm diameter, at laser power of 700, 750 and 800 W, process speed of 100 mm/s and 20 L/min of N2 flow. Creep tests were performed at constant load at 600 °C and 125 MPa, to verify the influence of treatment on the Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Results have indicated a lower stationary creep rate for the titanium alloy with Widmanstätten laser-nitrided structure when compared to the non-nitriding material. Besides that, the surface hardness increased from 368 HV of base material to 1000 HV after laser nitriding.
