Ya. Dushin et al., THE INFLUENCE OF THE RATE OF HARDENING ON THE DURABILITY AND LONG-TERM DUCTILITY OF METAL SEMIPRODUCTS, Russian metallurgy. Metally, (5), 1993, pp. 118-122
Based on the model of plastic instability it was established that the
long-term properties of various hears and semiproducts of the same mat
erial are connected with the pecularities of their true stress-strain
diagram. A simple parameter. the rate of hardening, which is determine
d by the coefficients of Ludvic's hardening equation can be considered
as an index for estimating variations of ions-term creep rupture and
ductility.
