Abstract
Creep of 99.999% pure aluminium polycrystal was studied at 333 K for compressive stresses of 20, 22, 24, 26 and 28 MPa. The observed stress dependence of the slope s = d ε/dln (1 + t/t0) of the creep strain-time curves in semi-logarithmic representation was examined in terms of a stochastic model of logarithmic creep. The intrinsic height of the rate-controlling energy-barrier, 0.95 eV, derived from the model was compatible with the activation energy for cross-slip (1.05 eV). The inference that-cross-slip facilitated recovery was consistent with the concurrent examination of slip-lines on the surfaces of crept crystals.
