Abstract

The non—stationary nucleation theory is used to explain the formation of creep pores at grain boundaries as a result of transient stress concentrations in rapid sliding processes. The numerically calculated critical stresses for persistently growing pores are the base for the analytical determination of critical stresses at other values of temperature, surface energy, and grain size. By means of the numerical results and the analytical transformation rule for the critical stresses, limits for the deformation rates are given below which superplasticity is possible without pore development.
