  • Beschreibung: <jats:p> Creep tests on Al–5·5 at.-%Mg solid solution alloy show that the stress exponent n increases with increasing stress from 3·1 to 5·5. It is demonstrated that the transition to n≈5·5 is not consistent either with normal power law breakdown or with a transition to a region of viscous glide controlled by pipe diffusion, but the results are in good agreement with a breakdown of the dislocations from their solute atmospheres. The activation energies for creep at low and high stresses are 136 and 170 kJ mol<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> respectively. </jats:p>
