This review paper mainly consists of from two aspects: (a) the evolution of the cavitation damage equation from Dyson to current application in high Cr steels by traditional techniques; (b) quantitation analyses of cavitation behavior in brass, copper, dual phase steel from X-ray microtomtograph. Though there is a lack of experimental data for high Cr steels by X-ray microtomography currently, but (b) has provided reference value for studying creep cavitation behavior in high Cr steels. This paper will be the fundamental of development new creep damage constitutive equation through quantitation analyses of X-ray tomography.

Complex metallographic analysis was performed on the steam pipe elbow made of 0.5Cr-0.5Mo-0.3V steel after long-term (more than 240 000 hours) of operation at elevated temperature that revealed the extensive creep damage on the outer surface of the pipe elbow. Metallographic analysis confirmed pronounced creep damage at the outer surface but, at the same time, the non-uniform nature of the cavitation. The density of cavities continuously decreased from outer to inner pipe surface in the most damaged area and rapidly waned along the circumference as well as the length of the elbow. Parallel evaluation of actual extent of the cavitation damage made by metallography and replica methods in various parts of the pipe elbow confirmed that replica method is capable to describe and quantify the cavitation damage of this steel in the same way as metallography, including evaluation of creep damage according to Nordtest NT TR 302.

Reheat cracking has been observed in the heat affected zone of the 316H austenitic stainless steel thick section weldments during service at a temperature of ∼500°C. This has been attributed to the creep dominated relaxation of the highly triaxial residual stresses. Here the role of thermo-mechanical variables that contribute to the susceptibility of thick section 316H austenitic stainless steel weldments is briefly reviewed. The influence of the plastic strain, carbide precipitation and impurity element segregation on the subsequent creep deformation behaviour and the susceptibility to creep cavitation damage is discussed. A systematically designed experiment which includes these parameters has been undertaken for a 316H austenitic stainless steel. In addition, residual stress profiles have been introduced into cylindrical pre-treated specimens and the relaxation of these profiles with heat treatment has been measured by neutron diffraction. The experimental results are considered with respect to the effect of the microstructure on subsequent creep deformation and stress relaxation. The susceptibility to intergranular brittle fracture is discussed and an attempt is made to correlate the microstructure and stress state factors encountered in the HAZ with the accumulation of the creep cavitation associated with reheat cracking.

Since its introduction by Fernandez-Moran, the diamond knife has gained wide spread usage as a common material for cutting of thin sections of biological and metallic materials into thin films for examination in the transmission electron microscope. With the development of high voltage E.M. and scanning transmission E.M., microtomy applications will become increasingly important in the preparation of specimens. For those who can afford it, the diamond knife will thus continue to be an important tool to accomplish this effort until a cheaper but equally strong and sharp tool is found to replace the diamond, glass not withstanding.In Figs. 1 thru 3, a first attempt was made to examine the edge of a used (β=45°) diamond knife by means of the scanning electron microscope. Because diamond is conductive, first examination was tried without any coating of the diamond. However, the contamination at the edge caused severe charging during imaging. Next, a thin layer of carbon was deposited but charging was still extensive at high magnification - high voltage settings. Finally, the knife was given a light coating of gold-palladium which eliminated the charging and allowed high magnification micrographs to be made with reasonable resolution.

The deformation behavior of metallic materials is modified by the presence of grain boundaries. When polycrystalline materials are deformed, additional stresses over and above those externally imposed on the material are induced. These stresses result from the constraint of the grain boundaries on the deformation of incompatible grains. This incompatibility can be elastic or plastic in nature. One of the mechanisms by which these stresses can be relieved is the activation of secondary slip systems. Secondary slip systems have been shown to relieve elastic and plastic compatibility stresses. The deformation of tungsten bicrystals is interesting, due to the elastic isotropy of the material, which implies that the entire compatibility stress field will exist due to plastic incompatibility. The work described here shows TEM observations of the activation of secondary slip in tungsten bicrystals with a [110] twist boundary oriented with the plane normal parallel to the stress axis.
