The viscoplastic behavior of advanced, high temperature, metallic alloys is characterized using the Bodner Partom unified constitutive model. Material parameters for both Hastelloy-X and Aluminum alloy 8009 are obtained for this model. The Bodner Partom constitutive model is summarized, and a detailed approach for determining the model parameters from experimental data is reviewed. Experimental methods for obtaining the mechanical test data are described. Bodner-Partom model parameters are determined from data obtained in uniaxial, isothermal, monotonie tension or compression tests and isothermal creep tests. Model predictions from the parameters determined are generated and compared to experimental data.
