Creep A standard creep equation [17] was used to analyze the results: where + is the strain rate, a is the stress, R and T have their usual meanings and A is constant. The param￾eters n, the stress exponent and Q, the activation energy, are related to plastic deformation mechanisms through various models [14,17]. Figure 5 shows a log-log plot of strain rate vs stress for five different samples. At 1400°C, the maximum stress in the CL tests was ~80 MPa; stresses in the CSR tests were 150-540 MPa. The low-stress regime (< 80 MPa) can be characterized by a stress exponent ~1.0+0.3, which is typical for diffusional creep of monolithic fine-grained polycrystalline ceramics [18]. On the other hand, the high-stress regime showed an important degree of sample to sample variability, due to the formation of macroscopic damage [10]. The activation energy was determined to be ~470 kJ/mole at 23 MPa and 1350-1450°C. The values of the creep parameters, n and Q, in the steady-state region are consistent with that of fine-grained polycrystalline A1203, which is the only plastic phase in this system under the test conditions. SEM and TEM revealed that cavitation occurred, especially at the higher stresses. Little evidence of dislocation activity was observed using TEM in the samples before or after deformation [10]. The TiC particles appeared to remain intact throughout the plastic deformation process and can therefore be considered as rigid inclusions. A stress exponent of ~ 1 for lower stresses, micro￾structural observations that cavities formed during plastic deformation and absence of dislocation activity can be related to a mechanism that involves grain￾boundary sliding, but for which the sliding was not fully accommodated by diffusion [19]. Creep resistance for the A1SiTi composite might be improved by inhibiting grain-boundary sliding, which could be achieved by adding more of a rigid reinforcing phase or by preserving more of the initial SiC whisker length. The creep resistance of the A1SiTi composite is comparable to that of other whisker-reinforced ceramic composites with similar grain size (A1203 grain size ~ 1 pro). A comparison with creep of A1203-30 vol.% SiC whisker [20] and a A1203-5.5 vol.% ZrO2 particle-28 vol.% SiC whisker [21] composites is shown in Fig. 6. At lower stresses, in the n ~ 1 region, all composites creep at about the same rate, whereas the A1SiTi shows somewhat more creep resistance and damage tolerance at the higher stresses. 4. Summary The strength of an A1203-30.9 vol.% SiC (whiskers)- 23 vol.% TiC (particles) was independent of tempera￾ture to 1000°C, but decreased slightly at 1200°C. The fracture mode, a combination of transgranular and intergranular, was unaffected by temperature. At temperatures > 1350°C, steady-state creep was achieved.
