Introduction :
A creep test measures the progressive rate of deformation of a given material at high
temperatures. It is performed by subjecting a tensile specimen to a constant load at a fixed
temperature and recording the corresponding amount of strain
Creep occurs in three stages: Primary, or Stage I; Secondary, or Stage II: and Tertiary, or Stage
III. Stage I, or Primary creep occurs at the beginning of the tests, and creep is mostly transiently,
not at a steady rate. Resistance to creep increases until Stage II is reached. In Stage II, or
Secondary creep, The rate of creep becomes roughly steady. This stage is often referred to as
steady state creep. In Stage III, or tertiary creep, the creep rate begins to accelerate as the cross
sectional area of the specimen decreases due to necking or internal voiding decreases the
effective area of the specimen. If stage III is allowed to proceed, fracture will occur.
Materials and Method :
PC Computer
Universal Testing Machine (810LE4 Series Hardware)
1. Prepare the specimens which must be consist of different materials, and set their
different parameters in a schedule.
2. Set each specimen between the grips of the machine.
3. Apply on each specimen a different force from forces applied on others specimen.
4. Write down for each specimen the elongation, strain, and the time.
