Problem

Plot creep curve (Strain vrs Time diagram) from the data given in Table for each
load/stress in the material deformed at 800 °C. Demarcate the curves based on
the creep rate and comment on the creep rate based on the load/stress.
Measure the following: Applied stress (MPa), Instantaneous strain, Minimum
Creep rate (s-1), Time to fracture in hrs, Fracture elongation (%)
Given thickness of all three samples is 1 mm, gauge length of 50 mm and a gauge
width of 3 mm.

Comments
The regions represented in the figure are below:
Region I is primary creep regime, Region II is secondary creep regime (creep rate
is minimum and stable) and Region III is tertiary Creep regime
The creep rate is increasing with increasing stress and is as represented
 σ3 > σ2 >σ1
In Curve 1 (500 MPa) and 2 (549 MPa) we can clearly demarcate the primary and
secondary creep. In case of 3 (602 MPa) curve the deformation is rapid and
primary creep is very limited.
