creep life

Creep life refers to the length of time a material, especially metals or alloys, can withstand a constant, high temperature and stress before it deforms permanently or fails. It’s a measure used in engineering to predict how long components will last under specific conditions, such as engine parts in a jet or turbine. Understanding creep life helps ensure safety and reliability by indicating when parts may need replacement before they break or degrade dangerously. Factors influencing creep life include material properties, temperature, stress level, and operating environment.
