Abstract

There are two distinct and separate classes of creep behavior in metallic solid solution alloys. The mechanism of creep in Class I alloys appears to be some form of dislocation climb process, whereas the mechanism in Class II alloys appears to be a viscous glide process. By making assumptions concerning the nature of the climb and glide processes, and using existing experimental results for an Al-3% Mg alloy, it is shown that, to a, first approximation, the criterion for deformation by viscous glide is given by

2k2(1-νϒGb3>T2e2cb6

where B ∼ 8 × 1012
1, σ is the applied stress, k is Boltzmann's constant, v is Poisson's ratio, γ is the stacking fault energy, G is the shear modulus, b is the Burgers vector, T is the absolute temperature, e is the solute-solvent size difference, and c is the concentration of solute atoms. The creep behavior of twenty-eight different solid solution alloys is analyzed, and it is shown that all alloys except one (Au-10% Ni) give results which are consistent with this criterion for viscous glide.
