Abstract

Two methods of repeated transients (stress relaxation and creep) which can be performed during straining at a constant strain rate are recalled together with the way the results are interpreted. The repeated creep method has been adapted to Ni3A1 compounds for which the amount of creep strain during the second creep could not be detected so far. Because of a small stress increase between creeps, it is possible to measure microscopic activation volumes, dislocation exhaustion rates and strain hardening coefficients. Results in Ni3A1 polycrystals and Ni3(AI,Hf) single crystals are presented. Orders of magnitude of dislocation exhaustion rates are given. They are particularly high in Ni3A1 as compared with other materials. They compare well with the work hardening coefficient and with total dislocation densities measured by electron microscopy.
