Creep behaviour of long range ordered beta'-brass was investigated with the aim of obtaining more information exploitable in an explanation of the physical basis of creep taking place in the ordered structure of metallic materials. In addition to conventional analysis of creep based on an analysis of the applied stress and temperature dependence of the steady-state creep, extensive constant structure experiments in the steady-state creep were performed and analysed. Comprehensive investigations yielded a new view, primarily in the internal stress and mechanisms acting in the creep of the investigated alloy. (C) 1999 Acta Merallurgica Inc.
