The creep rate of high-purity aluminium at 0.43 Tm has been found to vary as the cube of the grain diameter. Coarser-grained specimens had a higher instantaneous strain on loading, and this was correlated with the creep rate. The results are interpreted in terms of the relative recovery rates for strain and grain-boundary hardening.
