Abstract: | A new method was developed to study the Bailey-Orowan equation of creep,
c=r/h, where
c is the creep rate,r is the recovery rate andh is the work-hardening coefficient. The method was to vary the strain rate, , around the creep rate,
c, and to measure the corresponding stress rate, . In a plot of stress rate against strain rate, a straight line was obtained. The slope of the straight line was equal toh, and the intersection of the straight line with the stress axis was equal to –r, as in the equation =–r+h . The creep test under a constant stress is a special case of this equation when the stress rate, , is zero. The above measurement was carried out within a very small stress variation, less than 1% of the total stress, so that the values ofr andh were not disturbed. The creep test was performed on Type 316 stainless steel. The creep rate was shown to be equal to the ratior/h, but the value ofh was approximately equal to Young's modulus at the testing temperature, rather than, as is commonly believed, to the work-hardening coefficient. |
