Notes:
Many researchers have been interested in the nondestructive measurement methods forexamining the microstructural changes and components damage in order to assure the safe operationof steel structure. It has been recognized that the techniques based on magnetic measurement offereda great potential because of high susceptibility to the change of several metallurgical factors. In thisstudy, the effect of isothermal heat treatments, which simulate the microstructural changes observedin reactor vessel material at the service temperature, on the magnetic properties was investigated.2.25Cr-1Mo steel specimens with several different kinds of aging were prepared by an isothermalheat treatment at three different temperature levels. Magnetic property such as coercive force wasmeasured. The coercive force at room temperature monotonously increased with the extent ofdegradation of the material. The correlation between the measured magnetic property and themechanical properties was studied. In addition, the applicability of magnetic properties measurementsto the evaluation for toughness degradation of reactor vessel was discussed
