An alloy containing 49 at.% aluminium was heat treated at different temperatures within the ? + ? two-phase field to get five different volume fractions of lamellar constituent. Creep studies were carried out on these samples at five different temperatures in the interval between 1023 and 1223 K, by impression creep technique using four levels of stresses at each temperature. For a given temperature and stress, steady state impression velocity decreased with increasing volume fraction of lamellar constituent. Activation energy for steady state creep increased linearly with lamellar content from 185 kJ/mol at 22 vol.% to 362 kJ/mol at 100 vol.%. The stress exponent was found to be around 1.2 in all the cases. The results show that a fully lamellar structure has a superior behaviour where creep is an important factor.
