Abstract
An attempt is made to shed some new light on the role of recovery in c reep of precipitation-strengthened polycrystalline nickel-base creep-r esistant alloys, comparing some basic creep data for a Ni-16Cr-10W-4Mo -Ti-Al alloy with similar data for a low carbon 18Cr-12Ni stainless st eel and a 15M(2)B-Fe-18Cr-12Ni in situ composite. The comparison sugge sts that the minimum creep strain rate of precipitation-stregthened po lycrystalline nickel-base creep-resistant alloys is controlled rather by recovery (driven by internal stress affected by the presence of gam ma'-particles), than by dislocation glide/climb (driven by effective s tress) past these particles. An urgent need to study in detail recover y in creep of precipitation-strengthened polycrystalline nickel-base a lloys is emphasized. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
