The deformation model for non-elastic deformation in the grain matrix based on a mechanical equation of state was verified by comparing the predictions of the model with experimental data. The data of Type 316 stainless steel and nickel were used and were obtained in load relaxation and anelasticity tests. The same model was found to be successful in describing in-reactor creep and deformation. Work is in progress on the investigation of the driving force and the kinetics of stress induced cavity growth at the grain boundary.
