INTRODUCTION

 Creep is a time dependent process where a material under an

applied stress exhibits a dimensional change at elevated
temperatures.
 Creep deformation is possible at all temperature above
absolute zero. However it is extremely sensitive to
temperature.
 Materials are often placed in service at elevated temperatures
and exposed to static mechanical stresses (e.g., turbine rotors
in jet engines and steam generators that experience
centrifugal stresses, and high-pressure steam lines).

CHARACTERISTICS OF CREEP

 Defined as the time-dependent and permanent creep

deformation of materials when subjected to a constant
load or stress, creep is normally an undesirable
phenomenon and is often the limiting factor in the
lifetime of a part [1].
 Creep in service is usually affected by changing conditions
of loading and temperature.
 The number of possible stress-temperature-time
combinations is infinite.

STAGES OF CREEP
 There are three types of
creep stages :-
1. Primary stage -starts at a rapid
rate and slows with time.
2. Secondary stage -has a
relatively uniform rate.
3. Tertiary stage -has an
accelerated creep rate and
terminates when the material breaks
or ruptures. It is associated with
both necking and formation of grain
boundary voids.

CREEP RATE
 Time rate of deformation of a
material subject to stress at a
constant temperature. It is the
slope of the creep vs. time
diagram obtained in a creep test
[2].
 Units usually are % of
elongation/hr.
  Minimum creep rate is the slope
of the portion of the creep vs.
time diagram corresponding to
Fig-2 Creep rate
secondary creep.

RUPTURE TIME
 Time to rupture, or the rupture
lifetime (tr), is the dominant
design consideration; Of course,
for its determination, creep tests
must be conducted to the point of
failure; these are termed creep
rupture tests [1].
 Thus, a knowledge of these creep
characteristics of a material allows
the design engineer to ascertain its
suitability for a specific
application. Fig-3 Rupture time [1]
