SBD shortened 52% at 1100°C, 10-5/sec and 1200 MPa; regime 2 dislocation creep.

SBD shortened 52% at 1100°C, 10-5/sec, and 1200 MPa. Deformation has involved some flattening of original grains, with fine recrystallized grains developed along grain boundaries and along internal twin boundaries. (W590)
