Creep 
• Materials in service are often exposed to elevated 
temperatures or static loads for long duration of time. 
• Deformation under such circumstances may be termed 
as creep. 
• Time-dependent deformation of a material while 
under an applied load that is below its yield strength. 
• Mostly occurs at elevated temperature though some 
materials creep at room temperature. 
• Creep is a deformation mechanism that may or may 
not constitute a failure mode.
High Temperature Applications 
Components exposed to high temperature. 
Oil Refinery 
Steam turbine used in 
power plant 
Sagging of the 
filament coil 
increases with time 
due to creep 
deformation caused 
by the weight of the 
filament. 
Too much 
deformation--the 
adjacent turns of the 
coil touch one 
another--causing an 
electrical short and 
local overheating, 
which quickly leads 
to failure of the 
filament
Creep 
• Metals/alloys do not exhibit time dependent 
deformation under normal service condition. 
• Metals subjected to a constant load at elevated 
temperatures will undergo a time dependent increase 
in length. 
At what temperature the material will creep? 
• Different metals have different melting temperatures. 
e.g. Pb 327°C, W 3407°C. 
• Material will creep when the temperature will be ˃ 
0.5Tm (Tm = absolute melting temperature). 
Metal Melting temp. 0.5xMelting Temp 
Lead 327oC 600oK 327oK 27oC 
W 3407 3680 1840 1567
Creep Curve
Creep Curve 
• In the initial or primary 
stage, strain occurs at a 
relatively rapid rate but the 
rate gradually decreases 
(creep resistance increases). 
• In the secondary stage, the 
creep rate is minimum and 
constant. 
• This creep in this stage may 
be termed as steady-state 
creep. 
• In the third stage, the strain 
rate increases until failure 
occurs. 
The rate of deformation of a sample is 
known as the creep rate. 
It is found by measuring the slope of 
the strain v time curve.
