Abstract Subject headings

A physically-based theoretical model is developed for describing the phenomenon of indentation creep over the whole temperature range, from 300 K to melting. In agreement with experimental data collected, the model predicts that most materials, including ceramics, exhibit indentation creep at temperatures down to 300 K. It is established that the principal mechanism causing indentation creep is dislocation glide plasticity. The dominance of this mechanism over the whole temperature range is due to the very high stresses involved in indentation creep. If, however, the grain size is small (typically less than 0.3-0.4 μm) indentation creep may be dominated by grain boundary (Coble) diffusive creep instead. The implications of these results in terms of the design, forming and application of the so-called "hard materials" is discussed.
