Abstract
Creep tests were conducted on Ti-25Al-10Nb-3V-1Mo alloy in the the temperature range of 913 - 1093 K at stresses ranging from 40 to 600 MPa. The creep behavior of the Ti3Al alloy under these testing conditions revealed three different stress exponent regimes. In the temperature range of 1033 to 1093 K at low applied stress levels, the stress exponent was equal to 1.5. At the intermediate stress range (103<σ/E<3x10-3), a stress exponent of 3.3 was exhibited indicating that the creep deformation was controlled by a viscous dislocation glide process As the applied stress increase, the stress exponent changed from 3.3 to 4.4 The activation energy for creep was equal to 288 kJ/mole in the region where viscous dislocation glide was the dominant deformation mechanism (n=3.3) In view of the diffusion data, the rate-controlling species in the viscous glide region was assumed to be Ti lattice diffusion
