Excerpt from The Creep of Steel at High Temperatures
This investigation on the creep resistance of steels was undertaken at the request of the Babcock & Wilcox Co., to provide engineering data at the higher temperatures. The work was carried out in the Department of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The difficulties in the path of accurately determining the creep resistance are evidenced by the wide diversity of values obtained by different experimenters, and there is still much to be done on the development of research apparatus. The type of flow occurring ?11 steel is not certain, even after the subject has been studied by scores of experimenters. There is need of more fundamental research. In the meantime, however, the designer requires engineering data on a large variety of steels for high temperature use. It has been attempted here to supply this data for a considerable number of materials at the higher temperatures.
The author desires to express his indebtedness to Mr. J. B. Romer for the inetallographic examination of the test specimens, and to Prof. Albert Sauveur and Dr. R. S. Williams for examining the manuscript.
