In the present study, oxidation behavior of 304 and 316 stainless steels was investigated. After solution treatment, specimens were polished up to $1{\mu}m$ $Al_2O_3$ grade and then subjected to oxidation treatment in dry air. The range of temperature was used for oxidation treatment at $300^{\circ}C{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ and TEM was used for analyzing the components and structure of oxide film. Also, these results were compared with the results of ESCA and TG. According to the results of TEM analysis, it was found that Cr oxide film was formed on top of the surface after room temperature oxidation but amorphous Fe oxide was formed on top of the surface and polycrystalline $(Cr,Fe)_2O_3$ was formed below the amorphous Fe oxide layer after $500^{\circ}C$ oxidation treatment. The oxidized specimens at $500^{\circ}C$ showed that 316 stainless steel resists more strongly to grain and grain boundary oxidation than 304 stainless steel. These results suggested that Mo component resolved in 316 stainless steel matrix suppressed the formation of Cr carbide which may results in local Cr deplete area.

The temperature dependence of the magnetoimpedance (MI) effect is important both for scientific study and for thermal stability of MI sensor. We have performed the measurement of MI effect in amorphous $Co_{66}Fe_1Ni_1B_{14}Si_{15}$ (Metglas 2714 A) ribbon from a cryogenic chamber where the temperature of the sample can vary from 10 K to 300 K. The ac current was fixed at 10 mA for all measured frequencies ranging from 100 KHz to 10 MHz. The magnetoimpedance ratio (MIR) was revealed the drastic increment as a function of MIR (T) = MIR (0) exp(cT$^2$) where c is a constant. The measured MIR values at room temperature are usually 2-3 times larger than the data measured at 10 K for all measured frequencies. However, the shapes of the MIR curves are remained. This result shows the potential application of the MI effect for a temperature sensor. The frequency dependence of MIR has shown the typical tendency where the maximum values of MIR are increasing ans also the shapes of MIR curves are getting broader as the measured frequency increases.

The $Fe_{87}Zr_{7}B_{6}$ amorphous alloy after neutron irradiation are studied hysteresis loop and complex permeability measurements. The total integration fluence of fast neutrons is varied from $1.92{\times}10^{14}$ to $4.85{\times}10^{16}n_{f1}cm^{-2}$. After neutron irradiation, the imaginary part of complex permeability in low frequency region decreased due to the decrease of wall motion, but the permeability in high frequency region increased due to the enhancement of rotational magnetization. The measurement of hysteresis loop showed the increase of magnetic softness, related to rotational magnetization, but saturation magnetization was decreased in neutron irradiation sample.

In a $Co_{67}Fe_{4.5}Nb_{2}Si_{10}B_{15}$ amorphous alloy ribbon the effect to two-step annealing on the soft magnetic properties has been studied. By two-step annealing method which the second annealing at low temperature of $310^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours is undertaken after the primary annealing at high temperature above $480^{\circ}C$ for 20 minutes at the vacuum state, the coercive force and the squareness are not changed nearly but the initial permeability at d.c. and the effective permeability at a.c. are remark-ably increased compared with the one-step annealing. The maxima of the initial permeability and the effective permeability at 1 kHz after the two-step annealing are 290,000 and 41,000, respectively, which are 30% higher than those of the one-step annealing. The change of magnetic properties with annealing temperature is discussed in terms of the residual stress, the domain size, the cluster and the crystalline phase.

The effect of quenching speed of melt-spinning on intrinsic coercivity ($_iH_c$$) of annealed ribbons and the crystallization behavior from amorphous $Nd_{14.73}Fe_{78.67}B_{6.60}$ alloy have been studied. We have found that the intrinsic coecivity for annealed melt-spun ribbon is reduced with increasing of quenching rate. $\alpha$-Fe and $Fe_3B$ were formed as intermediate phases prior to the formation of $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ phase during crystallization. The $Fe_3B$ is disappeared with crystallization of $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ phase. But the $\alpha$-Fe phase is retained in fully crystallized ribbon by annealing. The intrinsic coercivity loss of annealed ribbon with increasing of quenching speed is believed to be due to existence of soft magnetic phase $\alpha$-Fe in annealed ribbons.

Magnetic and Magneto-optical characteristics of NdTbFeCo alloy films and NdTbFeCo/TbFeCo double-layered films have been investigated. It was observed that the Kerr rotation(${\theta}_{k}$) in the short wavelength region increased and the coercivity decreased as the substitutional amount of Nd for Tb in NdTbFeCo film at the constant FeCo content. In spite of the increased ${\theta}_{k}$, a small coercivity of NdTbFeCo film made this medium unsuitable for magneto-optical recording medium at short wavelength. An effort was made to improve coercivity by exchange coupling with TbFeCo film of high coercivity. In the exchange-coupled $Nd_{16.9}Tb_{15.2}Fe_{50.4}Co_{17.5}(150\;{\AA})/Tb_{21.1}Fe_{65.0}Co_{13.9}(300\;{\AA})$ double-layered film, the magnetization reversal switching field and the Kerr rotation angle were increased to about 6.0 KOe and $0.32^{\circ}$ at 500 nm, respectively. This result indicates that exchange-coupled NdTbFeCo/TbFeCo film can be a promising candidate for agneta-optical rerding medium short wavelenhth.

To understand the eutectic reaction mechanism and the relocation behavior of the core debris is indispensable for the safety assessment of core disruptive accidents (CDAs) in sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFRs). This paper addresses reaction products and their distribution of the eutectic melting/solidifying reaction of boron carbide (B₄C) and stainless-steel (SS). The influence of the existence of carbon on the B₄C-SS eutectic reaction was investigated by comparing the iron boride (FeB)-SS reaction by Raman spectroscopy with Multivariate Curve Resolution (MCR) analysis. The scanning electron microscopy with dispersive X-ray spectrometer was also used to investigate the elemental information of the pure metals such as Cr, Ni, and Fe. In the B₄C-SS samples, a new layer was formed between B₄C/SS interface, and the layer was confirmed that the formed layer corresponded to amorphous carbon (graphite) or FeB or Fe₂B. In contrast, a new layer was not clearly formed between FeB and SS interface in the FeB-SS samples. All samples observed the Cr-rich domain and Fe and Ni-rich domain after the reaction. These domains might be formed during the solidifying process.
