Conclusions
At testing temperatures below 0.5Tm the structure of the alloy affects the creep resistance in the same way as during tensile strength tests. The more dispersed (but less stable) structure ensures higher strength and a lower steady creep rate.
At temperatures above 0.5Tm the less dispersed (but more stable) structure of the bronze is responsible for the lower creep rate.
