Abstract: | The creep and creep recovery of pre-aging Al–1 wt.%Si and Al–1 wt.%Si–0.1 wt.%Zr–0.1 wt.%Ti alloys have been investigated at room temperature under different constant stresses. The aging temperature dependence of steady creep rate, st, and the recovery strain rate, π, show that under the same test conditions first alloy yields creep or creep recovery rates much higher as compared with those of second alloy. The stress exponent n was found to change from 2.5 to 7.43 and 4.57 to 11.99 for two alloys, respectively, characterizing dislocation slipping mechanism. The activation energies of steady state creep of the two alloys were found to be 78.4 kJ/mol and 32.8 kJ/mol for Al–Si and Al–Si–Zr–Ti alloys, respectively. The microstructure of the samples studied was investigated by optical and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). |
