A creep survey: from creep mechanism to macroscopic and microscopic models.
Published in METALLIC MICROSTRUCTURES EUROPEAN LECTURES ONLINE, 2024
At high temperature, metallic material creep is difficult to avoid. The understanding of the creep mechanisms helps metallurgists to design optimal alloy compositions and the prediction of a component life is a key input to manage safe maintenance and to define operational cost of any production line (solar plant parts, heat exchanger, any turbine parts loaded at high temperature…).
