Q:

Which of the following is/are correct regarding creep?

A) It is the continuous plastic elongation of metal under constant load B) It is the high-temperature mechanical effect of a metal
C) It is the continuous plastic elongation of metal under constant load at high temperature and it can be minimized by the fraction of grain boundaries D) It can be minimized by reducing the fraction of grain boundaries
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) It is the continuous plastic elongation of metal under constant load at high temperature and it can be minimized by the fraction of grain boundaries

Explanation: It is defined as the continuous plastic elongation of metal under constant load at high temperatures. Creep rate is then expressed as percent elongation in a given time. It can be minimized by reducing the fraction of grain boundaries.
