This paper summarizes the recent creep research by the author on pure aluminum
including classic five power-law creep, Harper-Dorn creep, ambient-temperature creep and an
investigations of long-range internal stresses in creep-deformed aluminum. Many of the models
and theories for these phenomena persisted for a relatively long period of time. More recent
developments in these phenomena are discussed that may lead to new interpretations of creep in
aluminum, as well as creep in other crystalline materials.
Keywords: creep, Harper-Dorn, five-power law creep, dislocation hardening, long-range internal stress, low-temperature creep |
