For instance, the measured growth rates of cavities have been found to agree with those calculated from the diffusion theory in the case of a pure metal; in the case of a strong alloy the calculated rate would not alter much, since diffusion coefficients are not changed substantially by alloying, but the actual rate is greatly reduced in something like the same ratio as the creep rate. Theory and experiment are then far apart. Another instance is that in an early calculation in which the competition between the opening of a cavity by grain-boundary sliding and its closure by sintering was considered, it was concluded that the latter did not predominate over the former, but correction of an error reverses this conclusion....","PeriodicalId":103313,"journal":{"name":"Metal Science Journal","volume":"416 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123549211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Density changes in each section following creep are used to determine the effect of the test variables on V, the total void volume/unit weight. It is shown that the density changes are described by the relationship V = 1·52 × 10−38 ɛ t σ7·5, where ɛ is the strain, t the time in h, and σ the initial stress in lbf/in2. This equation is valid to the point of rupture and calculated rupture times are in good agreement with actual values. However, since a knowledge of the value of V at rupture is required for such a prediction, it is doubtful whether the approach will be suitable for purposes of extrapolation. It is demonstrated that some of the assumptions made in the past regarding cavitation damage are untenable. In particular, the amount of damage at failure or at any stage of the creep curve is dependent on the test conditions. There is no reason to suspect that the development of cavi...","PeriodicalId":103313,"journal":{"name":"Metal Science Journal","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116814192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The measured activation energies were larger than those usually found for self-diffusion in liquids. The presence of a second solid phase tended to limit the grain growth of the lead-rich phase increasing the time exponent from 3.0. An increased fraction or finer distribution of the second phase restricted the grain sizes to a greater extent. For a constant distribution and quantity of the second phase the kinetics increased and then decreased with increasing fractions of liquid due to an increased percentage of antimony.","PeriodicalId":103313,"journal":{"name":"Metal Science Journal","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129900032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The model describes the time- and stress-dependence of the creep rate in the primary and the secondary stages. It is shown that the theory adequately simulates the experimental creep curves. The attainment of constant true and apparent activation energies, and of a constant exponent in the creep rate/stress power law, are interpreted as different consequences of the internal stress being approximately equal to the applied stress at low stresses and high temperatures. The physical significance of the apparent activation energy is discussed in terms of the model.","PeriodicalId":103313,"journal":{"name":"Metal Science Journal","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127515610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
