This distinct microstructure is believed to be the primary factor contributing to the significantly extended creep life of LPBF steel. The research team is continuing to test LPBF steel specimens ...

To demonstrate creep behavior at room temperature, we can use 60/40 solder that contains 60 wt% Sn (tin) and 40 wt% Pb (lead). The phase diagram for the Pb-Sn alloy system is shown below, and the ...

The new report agrees with this conclusion, at least in part, implicating “zinc creep,” or the tendency for zinc to deform over time under load. Where it appears to differ, though, is with the ...
