Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Results of experimental studies of creep in a wide range of temperatures and stresses are presented for three modern single-crystal nickel-base alloys. A method for determining the creep characteristics by tests including step increase of the tension is suggested and tested. The effect of transition into plastic condition on the creep parameters, the influence of the chemical composition and loading conditions on the duration of creep stages I, II and III, and the conditions of appearance of crystallographic and not crystallographic modes of fracture are analyzed. Possible simple approximations of the creep curves are considered with allowance for the accumulation of damage and occurrence of unsteady creep stages.

Notes

  1. In the given form (without allowance for the damage) the equation was suggested for the first time in the work of Nadai in 1936; in the literature without references it is encountered in the books of Rabotnov (1966) and Taira (1979). Power dependences of creep rate on stresses have been suggested independently by Norton in 1929 and Bailey in 1929. Russian specialists know Eq. (1) as the “Taira model.”
