Question

Give the approximate temperature at which creep deformation becomes an important consideration for each of the following metals:

Answer 1

Answer:

The creep temperature for different materials is as follows.

A. Nickel :- $T_{c}$ = 690.4 K

B. Copper :-  $T_{c}$ = 542.8 K

C. Iron :-$T_{c}$ = 723.6 K

D. Tungsten :-$T_{c}$ = 1469.2 K

E. Lead :- $T_{c}$ = 240.2 K

F. Aluminium :- $T_{c}$ = 373.2 K

Explanation:

Creep is the slow plastic deformation occur at high elevated temperature.

The approximate temperature for different metals is as follows at which creep becomes considerable.

A. Nickel :-  The relation between melting temperature & creep temperature is given by the formula.

$T_{c} = 0.4 T_{m}$

The melting temperature of nickel = 1726 K

Creep temperature $T_{c}$ = 0.4 × 1726

$T_{c}$ = 690.4 K

B. Copper :- The relation between melting temperature & creep temperature for copper is given by the formula.

$T_{c} = 0.4 T_{m}$

The melting temperature of copper = 1357 K

Creep temperature $T_{c}$ = 0.4  × 1357

$T_{c}$ = 542.8 K

C. Iron :- The relation between melting temperature & creep temperature for iron is given by the formula

$T_{c} = 0.4 T_{m}$

The melting temperature of iron = 1809 K

Creep temperature $T_{c}$ = 0.4  × 1809

$T_{c}$ = 723.6 K

D. Tungsten :- The relation between melting temperature & creep temperature for tungsten is given by the formula

$T_{c} = 0.4 T_{m}$

The melting temperature of iron = 3673 K

Creep temperature $T_{c}$ = 0.4  × 3673

$T_{c}$ = 1469.2 K

E. Lead :-The relation between melting temperature & creep temperature for lead is given by the formula

$T_{c} = 0.4 T_{m}$

The melting temperature of lead = 600.5 K

Creep temperature $T_{c}$ = 0.4  × 600.5

$T_{c}$ = 240.2 K

F. Aluminium :- The relation between melting temperature & creep temperature for aluminium is given by the formula

$T_{c} = 0.4 T_{m}$

The melting temperature of lead = 933 K

Creep temperature $T_{c}$ = 0.4  × 933

$T_{c}$ = 373.2 K
