Abstrakt: The present paper addresses the effects of creep cavitation damage on other mechanical properties – chiefly those that affect behaviour outside the creep range. Such effects seem not to have been systematically studied, yet they are significant for the understanding and prediction of component integrity and life. The paper presents results obtained mainly as byproducts of research programmes on low alloy steels for both fossil and nuclear power plant and seeks to rationalise the findings to generate an overall picture of the effect. It is seen that a simple loss of effective section model is adequate to describe many of the phenomena observed, but that other factors may also need consideration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
