Abstract

The creep properties of niobium-stabilised stainless steels of carbon contents in the range 0.01 to 0.05% carbon can be accounted for by the general recovery theory of creep. The high stress dependencies of recovery and creep rate can be adequately explained through an internal friction stress or impedance term, retarding recovery. Measurement of this friction term by dislocation density and stress relaxation techniques provides the correct stress dependencies when applied to the modified recovery theory.
