Abstract
This Review deals principally with the slow deformation at high temperature that is important to engineers, i.e. creep, but there is also a brief discussion of hot working. The definition of “high temperature” adopted is that diffusion can take place. The main discussion is about creep in pure metals and in complex creep-resistant metals, but there are also sections on solid solutions, compounds, and sliding at grain boundaries. There is some overlap with, but also certain differences from, the discussions in the recent book edited by Dorn.
