creep strength

Creep strength refers to a material's ability to withstand prolonged exposure to high temperatures and stresses without slowly deforming or weakening. It’s like how a piece of metal or alloy can maintain its shape and strength over time when used in hot environments, such as engine parts or turbines. High creep strength means the material resists this gradual deformation, ensuring durability and safety during long-term high-temperature use. This property is critical for materials used in extreme conditions, helping prevent failure or shape changes over time.
