IN the

last few y e a r s , t h e r e has been c o n s i d e r a b l e int e r e s t and c r i t i c i s m of the s o - c a l l e d jogged s c r e w m o d e l for s t e a d y - s t a t e c r e e p , which was o r i g i n a l l y p r o p o s e d by Mott b2 and l a t e r r e f o r m u l a t e d by s e v e r a l o t h e r i n v e s t i g a t o r s . 3-s T h i s model is b a s e d on the a s s u m p t i o n that the rate c o n t r o l l i n g p r o c e s s in high t e m p e r a t u r e d e f o r m a t i o n is glide of s c r e w d i s l o c a t i o n s , which a r e impeded by the n o n c o n s e r v a t i v e m o t i o n of jogs located along the d i s l o c a t i o n line. Recently~ t h e r e have b e e n a n u m b e r of c r i t i c i s m s of the m o d e l , 6-~~ which c a s t doubt about its a p p l i c a b i l i t y to s t e a d y - s t a t e c r e e p . T h e s e c r i t i c i s m s r e l a t e both to the s p e c i a l conditions n e e d e d to have the jog d r a g g i n g m e c h a n i s m c o n t r o l the s c r e w d i s l o c a t i o n v e l o c i t y and to the functional form for the s t r e s s dependence of the s c r e w d i s l o c a t i o n glide velocity. In addition, it is now c l e a r that s i g n i f i c a n t i n t e r n a l s t r e s s e s a r e p r o d u c e d d u r i n g high t e m p e r a t u r e c r e e p d e f o r m a t i o n and that r e c o v e r y as well a s glide m u s t be i n c l u d e d in any c o m p r e h e n s i v e view of the c r e e p p r o c e s s . N e v e r t h e l e s s , although the o r i g i n a l s i m p l i f i e d jogged s c r e w m o d e l cannot alone a c c o u n t for the s t e a d y - s t a t e c r e e p p r o p e r t i e s of c r y s t a l s , the m o d e l may yet be a p p l i c a b l e to the glide p a r t of the c r e e p p r o c e s s . F o r e x a m p l e , it i s expected that the jog dragging m e c h a n i s m m a y be the d o m i n a n t p r o c e s s l i m i t i n g d i s l o c a tion glide in pure m e t a l s at high t e m p e r a t u r e s . T h e r e a r e two s e p a r a t e a p p r o a c h e s that have b e e n u s e d to d e t e r m i n e the s t r e s s and t e m p e r a t u r e d e pendence for the v e l o c i t y of jogged s c r e w d i s l o c a t i o n s f l In both a p p r o a c h e s , it has b e e n g e n e r a l l y a s s u m e d that the jogs move n o n c o n s e r v a t i v e l y , the s c r e w d i s l o c a tion s e g m e n t s b e t w e e n the jogs glide v e r y e a s i l y , and in m o s t c a s e s v a c a n c y diffusion along the core of the s c r e w d i s l o c a t i o n is n e g l i g i b l e .
