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.

ABSTRACTCompressive creep behavior is investigated in ternary Ni3Al single crystals containing Ti, Si, Hf and Cr with stress axes parallel to the crystallographic orientation near [001]. Then a comparison is made with the results of high temperature compression tests under a constant strain rate for the same orientation where plastic behavior is characterized by a distinct yield drop followed by steadystate deformation. It is found that the deformation mechanism for the two cases is identical, namely octahedral viscous flow being expressed by the state equation of the power-law type with a stress exponent of about 3 to 4. The effect of offstoichiometry on the creep resistance is then examined in Ni3(Al,5 at%Ti) alloys with different Ni concentrations. The results support the observation in the polycrystalline compound where the creep resistance increases with Ni concentration on both sides of stoichiometry exhibiting a discontinuity at stoichiometry. Finally, the apparent activation energy in the power-law type state equation for the steady state creep deformation is estimated for all the ternary alloys examined. They are in general in good agreement with that for diffusion of ternary elements in Ni3Al. However, the relative magnitude of the value can not simply be compared since the activation energy depends on deviations from stoichiometry.

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.

Precipitation-strengthened tin-based eutectic Sn–3.5 Ag alloy was investigated for its creep behavior at three temperatures ranging from 303 to 393 K, under the tensile stress range of σ/E = 10−4 to 10−3. The steady-state creep rates cover seven orders of magnitude (10−3 to 10−9 s−1). The initial microstructure was found to have Ag3Sn intermetallic compound finely dispersed in the matrix of β–Sn. By incorporation of a threshold stress, σth, into the analysis, the creep data of eutectic Sn–Ag at all temperatures can be fitted by a single straight line with a slope of seven after normalizing the steady-state creep rate and the effective stress, indicating that the creep rates are controlled by the dislocation-pipe diffusion in the Sn matrix. The steady-state creep rate, , can then be expressed as , where QC is the creep activation energy, G is the temperature-dependent shear modulus, b is Burger's vector, R is the universal gas constant, T is the absolute temperature, σ is the applied stress, A is a material-dependent constant, and , in which σOB is the Orowan bowing stress and kR is the relaxation factor.

The creep behavior of mullite was studied under different stresses and in the temperature range 1200–1450 °C, and an analysis of creep curves was proposed. The study of creep behavior of mullite at high temperatures clearly indicates that this material exhibits concurrent creep and slow crack growth. An effective transition stress exists at each temperature. The analysis takes account of the total creep curve; in particular, the primary and stationary stages. It is now possible to determine by extrapolation the steady-state creep rate for specimens that break in the transient domain during tests. Thus, one can verify the influence of the stress on the steady-state creep rate over a wide stress range. On the other hand, this analysis clearly indicates the existence of two values of the activation energy around 1300 °C; this suggests a change of creep mechanism at this temperature.

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.

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.
