Creep, or cold flow, refers to the time-dependent deformation of a material under a certain applied load. Furthermore, high temperature and high stress promote strain, thus influencing the deformation. The deformation mainly results in the matieral to increase in length, potentially endangering the performance.
Materials of low creep are thus of importance for application in heat or where high mechanical loads are applied.
