A three-dimensional characterization of creep void formation in hydrogen reformer tubes

The techniques of serial sectioning and three-dimensional reconstruction were used to characterize creep voids occurring in an ex-service hydrogen reformer tube. The influence of variations in temperature, stress and microstructure types on the characteristics of creep voids are considered in the st...
