Abstract
The effect of strain rate on the compressive flow behaviour of DISPAL 2 is investigated in the temperature range 473–823 K. The stress exponent, n, was 28 in the temperature range 473–623 K, while it increased to 59 above 673 K. The activation volume and energy for deformation were 70 b 3 and 100–200 kJ mol−1, respectively, in the temperature range 473–623 K. In the higher range, 673–823 K, the observed activation volume of 300–500 b 3 and the activation energy of ~ 1086 kJ mol−1 cannot be reconciled with any of the deformation mechanisms. A new model-based creep equation for dispersion-strengthened materials proposed by Rosler and Arzt has been applied to the flow data from 673–823 K. Its predictions are in agreement with the experimental data in the temperature range 673–723 K. The predictions of the model, however, differ from the experimental data at 773 and 823 K.
