Creep measurement is a test method used in materials science and engineering to assess and study the deformation behaviour of materials over time when subjected to constant stress or load at elevated temperatures. Creep is the slow, time-dependent deformation that occurs in materials, particularly metals and alloys, under prolonged exposure to high temperatures and stress levels. This phenomenon is of significant concern in industries such as aerospace, power generation, and materials science, where materials are exposed to elevated temperatures and long-term stress conditions.
Creep measurement is essential for assessing the long-term behaviour of materials in high-temperature and high-stress environments. By understanding a material’s creep characteristics, engineers and researchers can make informed decisions about material selection and design to ensure the reliability and safety of critical components and structures.
