Pressure Dependence of the Creep of Lead

Abstract
Apparatus is described for maintaining hydrostatic environment, 1 in. in diameter by 4 in. long, with 8 to 12 electrical leads, up to 20‐kbar pressure and various temperatures. Bending creep of 99.999+% lead is reported with an activation volume of about 21×10−24 cm3, essentially independent of temperature between 0° and 57°C. Evidence for recrystallization is given.
