This thesis presents the creep properties and the relations
between stress and strain of "Expanded 460KV", "Chukar" and
"Drake" conductors. The basic theories of the effect of load,
material, and temperature on the conductor are also briefly
discussed.
The long time creep curve of a conductor appears as a
straight...
The zirconium-chromium phase diagram was investigated in the
region between 40% and 85% chromium. The ZrCr₂ intermetallic
compound which has been the source of some controversy was especially
considered. It was found that ZrCr₂ transforms from the low
temperature C-15 (MgCu₂, FCC) structure to the high temperature
C-14 (MgZn₂, HCP)...
