Abstract
DURING an investigation of the creep properties of a range of solid-solution alloys of thallium in lead, an interesting observation concerning their mode of deformation has been made. This concerns several alloys containing about 5 atoms per cent of thallium, which were tested in the form of extruded strip, directly loaded. Under conditions of slow straining, the specimens extended by large amounts before breaking.
