Abstract
The thermomechanical behavior of an ordered polycrystalline equiatomic Ag-Mg alloy is studied through creep, tensile, and stress relaxation tests. The experimental ranges of temperature and stress are 395 to 652 °C and 0.4-4 × 107 Nm-2. To account for the influence of long range order on the rheological properties of this alloy, the shear modulus is measured as a function of temperature. Using the different thermodynamic parameters available in the literature, an attempt is made to check the semiempirical Dorn's equation: M = έ kT/DGb = A Φ (S)f (σ/G). Iff σ/G takes the classical power form A (σ/G)″, n is shown to increase from 4.7 to 8.8 with σ/G, and is more properly replaced with a hyperbolic sine law. The most interesting result is that, apart from slight scatter, a single master curve exists for a judicious choice of D and it is thus shown that, in the limits of this study Φ (S) is a constant.
