Towards the Standardization of Time-Temperature Parameter Usage in Elevated Temperature Data Analysis

A Task Group of the Joint Committee on Effect of Temperature on the Properties of Metals (sponsored by the American Society for Testing and Materials, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and the Metal Properties Council) did an extensive study of methods for the extrapolation of short-time rupture data in an effort to decide if any one method might serve as a basis for a standard practice. Emphasis was on the time-temperature parameter.
