Abstract

The nucleation and growth of intergranular cavitation is one of the major contributors to high-temperature failure. We focus here on three developments in this area. The first is the effect of combined creep deformation and diffusive mass transport upon void growth. Second, we discuss environmental influences upon cavity growth, principally in the form of gas-producing internal reactions. Finally, we outline some of the experimental observations concerning randomness in creep cavitation and modeling efforts intended to capture some of these random effects.
