creep resistance

Creep resistance refers to a material's ability to withstand gradual deformation or shape changes when exposed to high stress and elevated temperatures over time. It is crucial in applications like turbines or engines, where parts experience continuous heat and force. A material with good creep resistance maintains its shape and strength longer under these conditions, preventing failure. Manufacturers improve creep resistance by selecting specific alloys or treatments that enhance a material’s stability and durability during prolonged high-temperature exposure, ensuring safety and longevity of machinery and structures.
