Abstract The construction of deformation mechanism maps for a polycrystalline ionic solid in which anion and cation transport are coupled has been demonstrated. Because of anioncation ambipolar coupling, two regimes of Coble creep are possible in systems where anion grain boundary transport is rapid: (1) rate-controlled at low temperatures and small grain sizes by cation grain-boundary diffusion, and (2) rate-limited at high temperatures and large grain sizes by anion grain-boundary diffusion. A new type of deformation mechanism map was introduced in which the temperature and grain size were primary variables. This map was shown to be particularly useful for materials which deform primarily by diffusional creep mechanisms. Ambipolar diffusional creep theory was used to construct several deformation mechanism maps for polycrystalline MgO and magnesiowustite over wide ranges of stress, grain size, temperature and composition.
