The creep behavior of oxide dispersed alloys can be described by the following equation:
where ε is steady state creep rate, σ applied stress, R gas constant, T temperature in °K, Qc activation energy for creep, n stress exponent, A and n are constants.
Two unusual observations in the case of O.D. alloys are that Qc and n take on values that have not been explained satisfactorily. This investigation was undertaken to explain the unusually high strength, high Qc and high stability (high value of n) in the oxide dispersed alloys.
