Creep Characteristics

The effects of 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 wt.% Cu additions on the microstructure and creep behavior of the as-cast Al-9Si alloy were investigated by impression tests. The tests were performed at temperature ranging from 493 to 553 K and under punching stresses in the range 300 to 414 MPa for dwell times up to 3000 seconds. The results showed that, for all loads and temperatures, the Al–9Si–3.5Cu alloy had the lowest creep rates and thus, the highest creep resistance among all materials tested. This is attributed to the formation of hard intermetallic compound of Al2Cu, and higher amount of α-Al2Cu eutectic phase. The stress exponent and activation energy are in the ranges of 5.2- 7.2 and 115 -150 kJ/ mol, respectively for all alloys. According to the stress exponent and creep activation energies, the lattice and pipe diffusion- climb controlled dislocation creep were the dominant creep mechanism.

The Matrix

Creep behavior of AM50-0.4% Sb-0.9%Gd alloy has been studied at temperatures ranging from 150 to 200°C and at stresses ranging from 40 to 90 MPa. Results show that the creep rate of AM50-0.4%Sb-0.9%Gd alloy was mainly controlled by dislocation climb at low stresses under 50 MPa. The activation energy for the creep was 131.2 ± 10 kJ/mol and the stress exponent was in the range from 4 to 9 depending on the applied stress. More than one deformation-mechanism were involved during the creep of this alloy. Microstructures of the alloy consist of a–Mg matrix and fine particles, distinguished as Mg17Al12, Sb2Mg3, and Mg2Gd or Al7GdMn5 that were homogeneously distributed in the matrix of the alloy, which effectively reduced the movement of dislocations, enhancing the creep resistance. Many dislocations were identified to be present on non-basal planes after creep deformation.

Hot Rolled

Compressive creep behavior of hot-rolled (40%) Mg-Y binary and Mg-Y-Zn ternary dilute solid solution alloys are investigated in this study. Creep strength is substantially improved by the addition of zinc. Activation Energy for creep in Mg-Y and Mg-Y-Zn alloys are around 200 kJ/mol at the temperature range from 480 to 570 K. These values are higher than the activation energy for self-diffusion coefficient in magnesium (135 kJ/mol). Many stacking faults, which are planar type defects are observed on the basal planes of the magnesium matrix in Mg-Y-Zn ternary alloys. TEM observation has been revealed that the non-basal a-dislocation slip is significantly activated by these alloys. The rate controlling mechanism of Mg-Y and Mg-Y-Zn dilute alloys are considered to the cross-slip or prismatic-slip controlled dislocation creep with high activation energy for creep, more than 1.5 times higher than the activation energy for creep controlled dislocation climb.

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.

Mg2sn Phase

Mg-Sn alloys contain thermally stable Mg2Sn phase, and are proposed as heat-resistant alloys for automobile engine applications. In this study, the creep behaviour of Mg-5Sn alloy was investigated using impression creep technique. The impression creep tests were carried out under constant punching stress in the range of 80-320 MPa at temperatures 373-573 K, for dwell times up to 5 hours. The results highlight that creep of Mg-5Sn alloy was load and temperature dependent, i.e. increasing the load and temperature resulted in larger creep deformation and hence to higher creep rates. From the creep curves, the stress exponent and the activation energy were estimated and the creep mechanism was identified.

An alumina-based ceramic codispersed with 15 vol% zirconia and 15 vol% mullite (AZM) was synthesized by reactive processing, and the creep behavior was compared to alumina with 30 vol% zirconia (AZ). Constant stress compressive creep behavior for AZM exhibited a stress exponent of 2 and an activation energy of 770 KJ/mol, while a similar stress exponent but lower activation energy of 660 KJ/mol was found for AZ. The strain rate of AZM, however, was more than twice that of the AZ under the same deformation conditions, indicating a better potential for superplastic shape forming.

Monolithic CoSi and TiB2 reinforced CoSi materials were produced by spray atomization and co-deposition. The creep behavior of both materials at elevated temperature was investigated. The unreinforced material of grain size ≍25 μm exhibited a stress exponent of three, activation energy for creep of 320 kJ/mole, dislocation substructure of homogeneously distributed dislocations, and inverse creep transients upon stress increases. These results suggest that the creep behavior of CoSi is controlled by a dislocation glide mechanism. In contrast, the reinforced material of a finer grain size (≍10 μm) exhibited a stress exponent of unity, activation energy for creep of 240 kJ/mole, and negligible creep transients upon stress increases, suggesting that the creep behavior of the reinforced material is controlled by a diffusional creep mechanism. The creep resistance of the reinforced material was lower than that for the unreinforced material. This is a result of the finer grain size and higher porosity in the reinforced material.

Zm21 Magnesium Alloy

Mg-Zn alloys are promising candidates for their application in automotive, electronics and aerospace applications. For their successful application, one of the performance parameters that needs to be evaluated is their creep behavior at elevated temperatures. Hence this paper evaluates the high temperature creep behavior of wrought ZM21 magnesium alloy by impression test The tests were performed under constant temperature and stress. A flat ended cylindrical punch was used to create impressions. The temperature was varied between 398 K and 598 K while the stresses were varied from 200 MPa to 500 MPa (normalized stress: 0.014 ≤  σimp/ G ≥ 0.032). A power-law creep deformation was assumed to calculate creep exponent and activation energy using the steady state minimum impression velocity obtained from impression tests. The creep behavior was analyzed with the help of impression creep curves and plastic deformation was analyzed with the help of micrographs. It was found that creep exponent varied between 4.5 and 6 and activation energy between 73.28 and 113.35 kJ/mol were obtained. From the study it was concluded that the creep mechanism involved was pipe-diffusion-controlled dislocation climb.

Creep Properties

The creep behavior of two series of magnesium alloys, Mg-4Al based alloys with strontium addition and binary Mg-Nd alloys, has been studied. Results show that the high creep properties achieved by the Mg-Nd alloys are attributed to the precipitation of tiny dispersed β’ particles, which form and effectively restrict the dislocation slipping and climb during creep deformation. In terms of values of the stress exponent and apparent activation energy gained from systematic creep tests, the mechanism responsible for creep deformation of the Mg-Nd alloys is inferred as dislocation climb, which is supported by TEM observations performed on the Mg-2Nd alloy after creep test. For the Mg-4Al based alloys, however, microstructural observations reveal that the significant improvement on creep properties caused by Sr addition is accounted for the formation of an interphase network consisting of Al4Sr and a Mg-Al-Sr ternary compound distributing at grain boundaries. The breakage of the interphase network after extrusion results in a sharp drop of creep properties, indicating the creep deformation of the alloy is controlled mainly by grain boundary sliding, which is in contradiction to the mechanism for creep of the alloys inferred by the classical criterions based on the values of stress exponent and apparent activation energy.

Temperature Range

The creep behavior of oxide-bearing Fe-0.6%O steel was studied in the temperature range of 550-700°C at stresses ranging from 100 to 400 MPa. The creep data showed high values of an apparent stress exponent n close to 16 for power-law creep. In addition the apparent experimental activation energy was much higher than that for the lattice diffusion in -iron. Analysis of creep data revealed that the deformation behavior was strongly affected by the threshold stresses, which are associated with the interaction between moving dislocations and fine incoherent oxide particles. Analysis of deformation behavior in terms of threshold stress leads the true stress exponent of 8; the activation energy for creep became close to value of activation energy for lattice diffusion at 700°C and for pipe-diffusion in the temperature range of 550–650°C.

AbstractThe creep behavior of Nb-26Ti-48Al alloy and its composite were investigated. After creep testing, precipitates were observed in the composite and mobile dislocations were found to be pinned by these precipitates. The combined effects of the reinforcements and the pinned dislocations were responsible for a reduced creep rate of the composite. The possible creep mechanisms were discussed based on the stress exponent and the activation energy of creep.
