Abstract

Indentation creep testing and uniaxial creep testing were carried out using aluminum alloy LY12CZ. The indentation creep testing was simulated by the finite element method. With the indentation creep testing results in conjunction with finite element creep analysis, the material creep parameters (nmI=nI=4.894 and cmI=5.780 × 10-19 s-1 MPan) were derived. It is found that the creep parameters from the uniaxial tensile creep testing (nm and cm) and indentation creep testing in combination with finite element method (nmI and cmI) can meet each other. The indentation creep testing can been used to determine the creep parameters (nm and cm). The most important conclusion is that the indentation creep exponent is equal to the material creep exponent, nm=nI.
