Extrapolation of Creep Curve and Creep Rate by Strain Acceleration Parameter in Al-Mg Solid Solution Alloys

Abstract:

It has been widely accepted that the creep characteristics at high temperatures are mainly evaluated by a minimum creep rate. Although, a shape of creep curve may vary depending on deformation conditions, the apparent steady state or minimum creep rates be the same. Thus,for detailed analysis and prediction of creep behavior, other values which reflect the shape of each creep curve should be considered. For the purpose, authors have proposed Sato’s strain- acceleration-parameter (Strain Acceleration and Transition Objective index, SATO-index) which reflects strain rate change during creep deformation. Based on the concept of SATO-index, the whole creep curve can be represented by a set of small number of numerical parameters, and can be extrapolated from a part of creep curve. In this paper, application of the concept of SATO-index to the creep curves of aluminum-magnesium solid solutions that the creep behavior of the alloys are well investigated and analyzed. The creep curve can be extrapolated by the concept from transient part of creep curve, and the extrapolated creep rates at the minimum creep rate agree well with experiment. Efficiency of the concept of SATO-index to creep experiments is pronounced.
