Abstract
The creep deformation behaviour of polycrystalline pure copper under static and cyclic stress was studied in the temperature range 0.4 to 0.5Tm. Both cyclic creep acceleration and retardation occurred depending on the condition of peak stress and temperature combination. The comparison of dislocation microstructures, developed during steady state static and cyclic creep deformation, has also been performed to determine the effect of cyclic stress on the dislocation microstructure and evidence for the enhanced recovery of the cell wall under cyclic stress was found. These effects of cyclic stress on the creep rate and dislocation microstructure were interpreted on the basis of diffusion-controlled recovery creep theory and the cyclic creep acceleration mechanism is suggested as the enhanced recovery of the cell wall with the help of athermally generated excess vacancies.
