Fundamentals of Creep in Metals and Alloys* Numerous line drawings with consistent format and units allow easy comparison of the behavior of a very wide range of materials * Transmission electron micrographs provide a direct insight in the basic microstructure of metals deforming at high temperatures * Extensive literature review of over 1000 references provide an excellent reference document, and a very balanced discussion Understanding the strength of materials at a range of temperatures is critically important to a huge number of researchers and practitioners from a wide range of fields and industry sectors including metallurgists, industrial designers, aerospace R&D personnel, and structural engineers. The most up-to date and comprehensive book in the field, Fundamentals of Creep in Metals and Alloys discusses the fundamentals of time-dependent plasticity or creep plasticity in metals, alloys and metallic compounds. This is the first book of its kind that provides broad coverage of a range of materials not just a sub-group such as metallic compounds, superalloys or crystals. As such it presents the most balanced view of creep for all materials scientists. The theory of all of these phenomena are extensively reviewed and analysed in view of an extensive bibliography that includes the most recent publications in the field. All sections of the book have undergone extensive peer review and therefore the reader can be sure they have access to the most up-to-date research, fully interrogated, from the world’s leading investigators. |

... annealed aluminum. That is, increases in temperature and strain-rate tend to oppose each other with respect to flow stress. This can be rationalized by considering plasticity to be a thermally activated process. Figure 5 also ...
... annealed metal is deformed at elevated temperature (e.g., under constant stress or strain-rate) within the five-power-law regime. Basically, on commencement of plastic deformation, the total dislocation density increases and this is ...
... annealed values, and are often believed to form a three-dimensional, Frank, network. The conclusion of a Frank network is not firmly established for five-power creep, but indirect evidence of a large number of nodes in thin foils [54 ...
... annealed metal at same temperature and stress although this is not, necessarily, a consensus view, e.g. [128,134]. Parker and Wilshire [134], for example, find that at lower temperatures, Cu, with a stress drop, did not return to the ...
