Abstract Creep and fatigue tests have been made on dispersed-oxide-strengthened lead. The presence of dispersed oxide in the lead resulted in a marked improvement in creep and fatigue resistance. Observations showed that the presence of oxide particles affected the incidence of slip and grain-boundary migration. It is suggested that the role of the dispersed oxide, in improving the creep and fatigue properties of lead, arises from the effect of oxide particles on the amount of slip, the amount of grain-boundary sliding and migration, and, in fatigue failure, the number of vacancies available for cavity nucleation.
