STRENGTH, STABILITY, AND THE EQUICOHESIVE POINT

A series of high-purity alloys based on iron--18% chromium, balance nickel, was prepared to include the alpha , ( alpha + gamma ), and gamma phase fields. Strengths were measured by means of creep, tensile, and hardness tests. Stability was evaluated from the rate of decrease of high-temperature strength with time. It is shown that the ambiguity connected with the equicohesive temperatare can be eliminated when time or strain-rate effects are accounted for, thus conferring a unique value on the transition between low- and high-temperature behavior. This fixed value is called the equicohesive point, rather than the equicohesive temperature. (auth)
