Point defects and the creep of metals

Abstract: Basic concepts felt to be important in diffusion-controlled creep of metals are reviewed and it is suggested that such creep is controlled by edgedislocation climb under a rather wide range of conditions. The effect of a damage-producing flux on such creep processes is explored. It is shown that processes such as Herring-Nabarro creep are unaffected by irradiation. Evidence is presented for a climb-plus-glide mechanism of radiation creep for stresses above unirradiated yield or flow stresses. At lower stresses… Show more

“…Although constitutive relations currently used in the codes are, in general, crude, many hopeful signs are evident that a more mechanistic approach will soon emerge. For LWR cladding, Nichols has made a careful analysis of the mechanics of irradiation creep [68], and extensive Zircaloy properties studies are underway at laboratories in several countries [62,69,70,71]. The development of the MATPRO program [72] for Zircaloy properties is a compilation of such efforts.…”
