Creep Rate
Time rate of deformation of a material subject to Stress at a constant temperature. It is the slope of the creep vs. time diagram obtained in a creep test. Units usually are in/in/hr or % of elongation/hr. Minimum creep rate is the slope of the portion of the creep vs. time diagram corresponding to secondary creep.
