During grain boundary sliding in ultrafine-grain materials at intermediate temperatures and high strain rates (~10-2 s-1) apparent creep parameters usually deviate from the theoretical values, due to microstructural coarsening. An analysis has been carried out in a severely friction stir processed (FSP) 7075 alloy with three different ultra-fine grain sizes (L), obtaining explicit grain size dependence of the creep parameters n ap =n ap (L) and Q ap =Q ap (L), confirming the validity of the theoretical values of these parameters in the constitutive equation.
