During creep exposure of austenitic stainless steel, structural changes take place; these are considered to be microstructural aspects of creep damage and have a negative effect on the steel's mechanical properties. Structural changes were studied extensively for one particular heat of steel AISI 304 and, afterwards, related to its deterioration in mechanical properties.
