Abstract
The creep behaviour of the ternary Zn-Al-Cu alloy after thermal treatm ent at 100-degrees-C has been studied. The applied creep stress does n ot modify clearly the transition phases (alpha''m, eta(x), eta(m)) app earing during isothermal ageing. During the creep test, the formation of an important density of defects results in the precipitation of T' and theta' particles. The quantity of these phases depends on the cree p conditions.
