- This paper represents the application of cutting edge multiscale three-dimensional analysis to investigate creep cavities in an ex-service austenitic stainless steel component from nuclear power plant. A combination of microscale X-ray computational tomography, nanoscale serial section focused ion beam–scanning electron microscopy, elemental energy dispersive X-ray mapping and transmission electron microscopy were applied. This is significant because it provided new insights into interaction of creep cavities and second phase particles which has improved industry’s and wider research groups' oversimplified, idealised cavitation models.
