Popis: The deformation behavior of a recrystallized high purity Mo at constant stresses and at moderately elevated temperatures up to 90 C was studied. A creep-like viscoplasticity was observed at the tested stress levels for below the yield stress. Upon loading to a constant stress level the specimen indicated a rapid initial increase in strain. then the material deforms to an exponential law and tends to saturate as time goes infinite. It was found that the testing temperature has a strong effect on the initial strain rate, while little effect on the saturation strain was found. The saturation strain increases with increasing stress. A mechanical model was proposed employing an elastic element, a viscous element and a rigid-plastic element. This model accounts well for the experimentally observed deformation behavior in Mo. Micromechanically, the kink-pair model was cited for the interpretation. Possibly some other mechanisms could also operate at the same time, including the grain boundary sliding in this fine grain sized microstructure.
