Special features of formation and propagation of microscopic cracks and pores in metals and alloys are considered and analyzed depending on the conditions of their formation. The effect of curing of microscopic discontinuities on mechanical properties, and especially on the endurance, is studied in tests performed under conditions of creep or cyclic loading.
