Question
**Problem Statement:**

13.13 Tungsten is being used at half its melting point (\(T_m \approx 3,400 \, ^\circ C\)) and a stress level of 160 MPa. An engineer suggests increasing the grain size by a factor of 4 as an effective means of reducing the creep rate.

(a) Do you agree with the engineer? Why? What if the stress level were equal to 1.6 MPa?

(b) What is the predicted increase in length of the specimen after 10,000 hours if the initial length is 10 cm? 
(Hint: Use a Weertman–Ashby map.)

2) What equations and concepts apply here?

**Diagram Explanation:**

The graph shows the relationship between normalized tensile stress (\(\sigma/G\)) on the y-axis and homologous temperature (\(T/T_m\)) on the x-axis. The chart indicates different creep regimes for tungsten with a grain size (\(d\)) of 10 μm and a dislocation density (\(\rho\)) of \(4 \times 10^{10}/{\text{cm}}^2\).

- **Coble creep** dominates at low temperatures and stresses.
- **Dislocation creep** begins at moderate temperatures and stresses, transitioning from dislocation glide to climb.
- At high temperatures and stresses, **Nabarro-Herring creep** is dominant.

**Equations and Concepts:**

The steady-state creep rate equation is given by:

\[
\dot{\varepsilon}_{\text{ss}} = \frac{ADGb}{k_BT} \left(\frac{b}{d}\right)^p \left(\frac{\sigma}{G}\right)^n
\]

Where:
- \(A\) is a constant,
- \(D\) is the diffusion coefficient,
- \(G\) is the shear modulus (\(G_W \approx 160 \, \text{GPa}\)),
- \(b\) is the Burgers vector,
- \(d\) is the grain size,
- \(k_B\) is Boltzmann's constant,
- \(T\) is the temperature,
- \(\sigma\) is the applied stress.
