Preferred term

Creep resistance  

Definition

  • 1. The ability of a material to resist any kind of distortion under the influence of stresses over an extended period of time. (Science direct, Applied Energy Volume 88, Issue 12, December 2011, Pages 4274-4293). 2. Creep resistance is a term used in materials science that refers to a solid material’s ability to resist “creep,” which refers to the tendency of a material to slowly deform over a long period of exposure to high levels of stress. (https://www.safeopedia.com/definition/5667/creep-resistance). 3. Creep-resistant materials are used in machines and facilities operated at high temperatures e.g. power engineering equipment. They must be able to withstand the highest possible operating loads at elevated temperatures and also be sufficiently resistant to high-temperature corrosion. In contrast to heatresistant materials, the mechanical properties of creep-resistant materials are of prime importance. (Springer, Ferrous Materials, Hans Berns, Werner Theison)
