Abstract: | |||||
The mechanism of low stress creep of uranium dioxide
is identified as that modelled by Ashby and Verrall. This is
supported by the agreements between predicter and experimental
creep behaviours and creep rates. Evidence from the microstructures
of superplastically deformed specimens confirms the topological
aspect of the Ashby-Verrall model in these specimens.
Superplastic strains of about 100% were obtained without
failure of the specimens in a batch of 2um grain size specimens.
The microstructures of these specimens revealed an even distribution
of fine pores at triple point junctions. A mechanism is proposed to
account for the superplastic behaviour of these specimens.
