Laboratory experiments Reality: Multi-axial stress state with stress components varying with time Data available: Uni-axial experiments with simple time functions Therefore, Modelling is essential
Influence of Temperature on the Stress strain Curve 200 °C - 700 °C Intercrystalline damage >700 °C Dynamic recrystallisation 23 °C – 150 °C Dynamic recovery 200 °C - 300 °C Intercrystalline damage
Flow curve: Description and Influence of strain rate Power law ?
Minimum creep rate as stress function and creep fracture curve Up to 10000 h University laboratory Up to 200000 h Industry, Standards
Proof stress and creep strength as Loading limits Design limits: with a factor of safety of 1.5 1. Low Temperatures: 0,2% Proof Stress 2. High Temperatures: Creep Strength= Stress for a fracture time of 100000 h Maximum service temperature: Creep strength for 100000 h = 100 MPa
Increase of creep strength 1. Reducing grain boundary area per unit volume Coarce grains Directional Single solidification crystals
Increase of creep strength 2. Precipitation hardening Barriers for the dislocation Influence of nitrides 0.05 m% N [Abe, F.: Sol.State.Phys. 8(2004)305 ]
Increase of creep strength 3. Reinforcement by continuous fibres Not for cyclic compression !

Cyclic creep: Life assessment • L= 0.6 under pulsating stress • L= 0.8 under pulsating Temperature
Stress Relaxation: Basic equation • Creep strain increases with time • Total strain remains constant • The elastic strain decreases • Stress decreases with time
Stress relaxation curves Nickel-base alloy: Crystalline order changes around 550°C increases the specific volume And hence reduces relaxation
Low Cycle Fatigue: Life assessment Number of cycles at fracture
Voids: Growth by diffusion and by creep deformation Void growth by Diffusion Void growth by creep deformation of the surrounding materials
