'Ceramic'.
Generally, materials have better creep resistance if they have higher melting temperatures, lower diffusivity, and higher shear strength. Close-packed structures are usually more creep resistant as they tend to have lower diffusivity than non-close-packed structures.So ceramic have higher melting point than the metals.
Metals will therefore creep at relatively low temperatures - lead begins to creep at room temperature and aluminium alloys will begin to creep from about 250°C.
Ceramics have melting temperatures much higher than metals and will only creep when they are exposed to stresses at much higher temperatures.
Creep:- is the natural tendency of a material to gradually move or permanently deform as a result of mechanical stress.
Creep Resistance :- Materials under service conditions are required to sustain steady loads for prolonged periods of time and often undergo a time-dependent deformation that is referred to as creep resistance.
