Abstract
This paper presents a study of creep in polycrystalline aluminum. The sample was deformed in a scanning electron microscope and local strain was measured by analyzing micrographs taken during the test. EBSP was used to examine grain curvature and recrystallization The results showed that tensile strain developed during the test. The strain was not constant but varied both spatially and with time. Significant grain boundary migration occurred during the test, and near a triple point a grain with a completely new orientation was formed.
