Abstract

Newtonian creep data on both stoichiometric and hyperstoichiometric urania materials are analyzed. It is shown that there may be two distinct regimes: one is grain size sensitive, and the other grain size insensitive. Both qualitative and quantitative evaluations of these two regimes suggest that deformation in the grain size sensitive regime may be controlled by lattice diffusion-accommodated grain boundary sliding whereas that in the grain size insensitive regime by a dislocation process operating in Harper-Dorn creep.
