- Stage I, or Primary creep occurs at the beginning of the tests, and creep is mostly transiently, not at a steady rate.
- In Stage II, or Secondary creep, The rate of creep becomes roughly steady.
- Stage III, or tertiary creep, the creep rate begins to accelerate as the cross sectional area of the specimen decreases.
