The precipitation behaviour in the gauge lengths and in the heads of initially solution annealed type 316L(N) austenitic stainless steel specimens tested in creep at 550 and 600 °C for periods of up to 85 000 h has been studied using several metallographic techniques. Three phases were detected: M23C6, Laves, and sigma phase. The volume fraction of the precipitated sigma phase was significantly higher than that of carbides and the Laves phase. M23C6 carbide precipitation occurred very rapidly and was followed by the sigma and Laves phases formation in the delta ferrite islands. Sigma and Laves phases precipitated at grain boundaries after longer times. Two different mechanisms of sigma phase precipitation have been proposed, one for delta ferrite decomposition and another for grain boundary precipitation. Small quantities of the Laves phase were detected in delta ferrite, at grain boundaries and inside the grains.
