SBD shortened 32% at 1200°C, 10-6/sec and 1200 MPa; regime 3 dislocation creep.

SBD shortened 32% at 1200°C, 10-6/sec, and 1200 MPa. At this higher temperature the recrystallized grains are larger and more numerous for a given strain, and original grains are less obviously flattened. Subgrains are visible within original grains. (W589)
