Several metallic components, which are used in heat
exchangers or boilers, are subjected to static
external loading under high temperature serviceconditions which lead to a continuous deformation
with time.
Introduction
This phenomenon is so-called creepcreep.

In initial stageinitial stage the total
deformation is elastic due
to application of the load.
In first stage (Primaryfirst stage (PrimaryCreep),Creep), creep continues at
a decreasing rate as the
strain hardening is the
dominating factor on thecreep deformation.
In second stagesecond stage, creep
rate becomes constant
and this stage is therebycalled steady state regionsteady state region.

In the second stage of thecreep-time curve, the
creep rate becomesapproximately constantand this stage is thereby
called steady state regionas shown in the figure.
The figure also indicates
that this stage has thelongest duration and the
steady-state creep rate can
be easily calculated
through the following
equation:

In fact, the creep rate can often be represented by the
Arrhenius relationship of the form:
n' Qexp
RT
whereA and n are constants; is usually in the range of 3
to 7 for metals and 1 to 2 for polymers; T is the
temperature in [K] and Q is called the activation energyfor creep in [J.mol-1] and it is mainly depending on the
material. The value of Q can be determined by plotting the
natural logarithm of the creep rate vs. (1/T). The datashould fall along a straight line of slopeof slope --Q/RQ/R where R is
the gas constant that equals to 8.314 [J.mol-1 k-1] and. isthe applied stress in [MPa].
