Ductile damage evolution and fracture of a resulfurised stainless steel (AISI 303) were analysed by high temperature tension tests. Void nucleation, growth and coalescence were investigated. The existence of two distinct void coalescence mechanisms has been demonstrated. High temperature damage models assume the existence of a critical value of the void volume fraction at the onset of void coalescence...
