BHQ shortened 60% at 800°C, 10-6/sec and 1200 MPa; regime 2 dislocation creep.

BHQ shortened 60% at 800°C, 10-6/sec and 1200 MPa (regime 2). Same features as described for photo #6. Compare this photo with photo #14, which shows a sample that was deformed at identical conditions but then statically annealed. (AN8)
