Abstract
Creep damage in polycrystalline metallic materials can be attributed to cavitation and cracking along the grain interfaces. Theories of creep cavitation that have been developed in recent years are reviewed. Further evaluation and/or refinement of these theories has been retarded by a lack of an experimental counterpart. Small angle neutron scattering studies (SANS) provide one experimental tool which is complementary to others. SANS done at NBS and elsewhere have shown that this technique is suitable for studying nucleation and early stage of growth of creep cavities. This would provide the impetus to further progress in this area.
