The cavitational mode of failure of prior austenite grain boundaries in bainitic creep-resisting low alloy steels is now well established as a principal factor in the high incidence of cracking problems which has developed on modern power plant in recent years. The microstructural features dominating the cavitation process at the reheat temperature in a ½CMV bainitic steel of high classical residual level have been determined. The prior austenite grain boundaries become zones of comparative weakness ca . 1 pm thick at 700 °C and are incapable of sustaining significant shear loads. Deformation is therefore initiated by a relaxation of load, through a process of prior austenite grain boundary zone shear, from inclined to transverse boundaries such that a concentration of normal stress develops across the latter. The overall deformation is thereafter determined by cavitation of the transverse boundary zones, the necessary inclined boundary displacements being accommodated by further grain boundary zone shear. Transverse boundary cavitation is shown to be an essentially time-independent process of localized ductile microvoid coalescence resulting from the plastic deformation of the boundary zone.
