Modeling the interaction between creep deformation and scale growth process

When an alloy is oxidized (or nitrided) at high temperature with the presence of an applied stress, the scale growth rate is dependent on the magnitude and direction of the stress. Here we present a model to simulate the scale growth process under an applied bending load. This model explores the interaction between creep deformation and the scale growth process, and is able to predict the stress-driven scale growth rate, the creep response of …
