Use of a modified beam in obtaining creep data in uniaxial tension and compression

Description

A method of testing is presented which makes use of a special ''slotted'' beam to compare the tensile and compressive creep response of a metal at high temperature. The technique avoids most of the difficult alignment problems associated with conventional uniaxial testing in compression. Application of the method is made to 21/4 Cr-1 Mo steel, a primary reactor system metal. It is concluded that the elastic-creep behavior of this alloy is effectively the same in compression as in tension. Moreover, the ''slotted'' beam is judged a practicable tool for obtaining reliable creep data in tension and compression
