Creep behaviour in the superplastic Pb-62% Sn eutectic

Creep behaviour in the superplastic Pb-62% Sn eutectic
Creep behaviour in the superplastic Pb-62% Sn eutectic
The creep behaviour of the superplastic Pb-62% Sn eutectic was investigated for grain sizes from 5·8 to 14·5 μm and at temperatures in the range from 336 to 422 K. The results showed a sigmoidal relationship between strain rate and stress. At intermediate strain rates (∼ 10−5–10−2 sec−1), the stress exponent was ∼1·65, the exponent of the inverse grain size was ∼2·3, and the activation energy was similar to the value anticipated for grain boundary diffusion. At very low strain rates (≲10−5 sec−1), the stress exponent was ∼3·0, the exponent of the inverse grain size was ∼2·3, and the activation energy was similar to the value anticipated for lattice self-diffusion. The results are not entirely consistent with either of the two major theories of superplasticity, but suggest instead the sequential operation of two different deformation processes.

Abstract

The creep behaviour of the superplastic Pb-62% Sn eutectic was investigated for grain sizes from 5·8 to 14·5 μm and at temperatures in the range from 336 to 422 K. The results showed a sigmoidal relationship between strain rate and stress. At intermediate strain rates (∼ 10−5–10−2 sec−1), the stress exponent was ∼1·65, the exponent of the inverse grain size was ∼2·3, and the activation energy was similar to the value anticipated for grain boundary diffusion. At very low strain rates (≲10−5 sec−1), the stress exponent was ∼3·0, the exponent of the inverse grain size was ∼2·3, and the activation energy was similar to the value anticipated for lattice self-diffusion. The results are not entirely consistent with either of the two major theories of superplasticity, but suggest instead the sequential operation of two different deformation processes.
