1. INTRODUCTION P OLYCRYSTALLINE m a t e r i a l s may d e f o r m by s e v e r a l d i f f e r e n t m e c h a n i s m s when s u b j e c t e d to an applied s t r e s s , and it is c o n v e n i e n t to p r e s e n t these m e c h a n i s m s in the f o r m of a d e f o r m a t i o n m e c h a n i s m map. 1-3 S i m i l a r l y , p o l y c r y s t a l s may f r a c t u r e by s e v e r a l p o s s i b l e p r o c e s s e s , and the p r e c i s e mode of f r a c t u r e depends c r i t i c a l l y on the t e s t i n g conditions, such as s t r e s s and t e m p e r a t u r e , and on m a t e r i a l p a r a m e t e r s such as g r a i n size and the c o n c e n t r a t i o n of p r e c i p i t a t e s . W r a y 4 f i r s t suggested the p o s s i b i l i t y of d i s p l a y i n g f a i l u r e modes in the f o r m of a s c h e m a t i c d i a g r a m in s t r a i n r a t e - t e m p e r a t u r e space, and the concept was l a t e r i m p r o v e d and developed by Ashby and Raj 5 to give a f r a c t u r e map for c o p p e r . T h i s map plotted n o r m a l i z e d s t r e s s a g a i n s t homologous t e m p e r a t u r e , f r o m a b s o l u t e z e r o to the m e l t i n g point, and showed fields in s t r e s s - t e m p e r a t u r e space within which a p a r t i c u l a r f r a c t u r e m e c h a n i s m was d o m i n a n t . Ashby% 7 has d e s c r i b e d in d e t a i l the c o n s t r u c t i o n of f r a c t u r e maps of n o r m a l i z e d s t r e s s v s homologous t e m p e r a t u r e , and the r a p i d a c c e p t a n c e of this p r o c e d u r e is d e m o n s t r a t e d by the i n c l u s i o n of f r a c t u r e maps in s e v e r a l r e c e n t r e v i e w s 8-11 and the c o n s t r u c t i o n of maps of this type for a n u m b e r of d i f f e r e n t materials.12 iv The p r e s e n t work was u n d e r t a k e n with t h r e e specific objectives : 1) To develop a s i m p l i f i e d f o r m of f r a c t u r e map for the a n a l y s i s of c r e e p data at high homologous t e m p e r a t u r e s ; 2) T o use the t h e o r e t i c a l f r a c t u r e p r o c e s s e s to c o n s t r u c t c r e e p f r a c t u r e maps for 316 s t a i n l e s s steel; and 3) To make a d i r e c t c o m p a r i s o n b e t w e e n the p r e d i c t i o n s of the t h e o r e t i c a l maps and the b e s t a v a i l a b l e e x p e r i m e n t a l data. 2.
