measuring the creep properties of materials. Here, we report an experimental study of the
effects of crystal orientation on indentation creep. Indentation creep tests were systematically
conducted on single grains in a coarse-grained sample of β-tin with the grains having
[001],[023], and [010] crystal orientations. For comparison, uniaxial compression tests were
also conducted on bulk polycrystalline samples. The results show that indentation creep …
