Abstract
The superplasticity of the Pb-Sn eutectic was investigated in the temperature range of 283 to 340 K. The strain-rate sensitivity, the activation energy and the activation volume were determined by impression creep measurements at various strain rates and temperatures. The results obtained are in good agreement with the results of conventional unidirectional tensile tests, which show that the simple and economic impression creep test can lead to equivalent results with the conventional creep test.
