The mechanism of creep in polycrystalline magnesium oxide

The mechanism of creep in polycrystalline magnesium oxide
The mechanism of creep in polycrystalline magnesium oxide
Polycrystalline magnesium oxide, nominally fully-dense (>99.8% theoretical), was tested in compressive creep at a temperature of 1200°C and under initial applied stresses of 3.44 × 108−13.76 × 108 dynes/cm2. The observed steady-state creep rates were independent of grain size in the range ~12–52μm, and proportional to σ3.3, where σ is the applied stress. The activation energy was determined as 51 ± 5 kcal/mole. The results show that the creep behavior of polycrystalline MgO is similar to that observed in many metals. An analysis of the data in terms of various creep theories suggests that a dislocation mechanism is rate-controlling, such as the climb of dislocations without accompanying glide.

Abstract

Polycrystalline magnesium oxide, nominally fully-dense (>99.8% theoretical), was tested in compressive creep at a temperature of 1200°C and under initial applied stresses of 3.44 × 108−13.76 × 108 dynes/cm2. The observed steady-state creep rates were independent of grain size in the range ~12–52μm, and proportional to σ3.3, where σ is the applied stress. The activation energy was determined as 51 ± 5 kcal/mole. The results show that the creep behavior of polycrystalline MgO is similar to that observed in many metals. An analysis of the data in terms of various creep theories suggests that a dislocation mechanism is rate-controlling, such as the climb of dislocations without accompanying glide.
