Creep Deformation
Creep Defined
HIGH TEMPERATURE PROGRESSIVE
DEFORMATION of a material at
constant stress. High temperature is a
relative term that is dependent on the
material(s) being evaluated.
For Metals, Creep Becomes important
at Temperatures of About 40% of the
Absolute Melting Temperature (0.4Tm)

Creep: ε vs t Behavior
In a creep test a
constant load is
applied to a tensile
specimen
maintained at a
constant temp.
Strain is then Stage-1 → Primary
measured over a • a period of primarily
period of time transient creep. During
this period deformation
• Typical Metallic takes place, and Strain
Dynamic Strain at Hardening Occurs

State Creep
• a.k.a. Secondary
Creep
• Creep Rate, dε/dt is
approximately
Constant • a reduction in cross
• Strain-Hardening sectional area due to
and RECOVERY necking, or effective
Roughly Balance reduction in area due to
internal void formation

Tertiary Creep called “Rupture”
