This thesis examines the development and application of 'Health Monitoring System' which monitors periodically the state of a pipe of petrochemical plant by using magnetostrictive sensor technology. The existing guided-wave inspection methods cannot be applied to welding part inspection in pipe, and has a limit of precision when applied to general parts because of noise, reflected waves, and so on. This technology uses the information on displacement of a defect through periodic monitoring, which makes more precise inspection, and can be utilized very usefully in a petrochemical plant.

The temperature measurement of yen high temperature core melt is of importance in LAVA (Lower-plenum Arrested Vessel Attack) experiment in which gap formation between core melt and the reactor lower head, and the effect of the gap on thermal behavior are to be measured. The delay time of ultrasonic wavelets due to high temperature is suggested. As a first stage, a molten material temperature was measured up to 2300℃. Also, the optimization design of the ultrasonic temperature sensor with persistence at the high temperature was suggested in this paper. And the utilization of the theory suggested in the reference〔1〕and the efficiency of the developed system are certified by performing experiments. This sensor welded magnetostrictive element and tungsten element will be able to measure a temperature range of 3000℃ hereafter.

The main subject of this paper is to develop analytic method with which output power or sensitivity variations of a magnetostrictive ultrasonic transducer can be estimated with no aid of experiments. After the bias magnetic field deployed over the patch is calculated using finite element analysis for magnetostatics, the representative value is extracted by averaging these field values. The operating point on the characteristic curve for magnetostriction is identified by this value and then the output performance is calculated from it. It is verified that the results from this simple model match well with those of its experimental version and some limits of this modeling technique are also considered.

An interferometric fiber-optic magnetic field sensor is constructed by bonding a Co-Fe-B metallic glass transducer developed here by the melt-spun method to a single mode fiber arm in the fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer and is tested. The bias field for the peak ac-sensitivity was observed near 0.97 Oe and the minimum detectable magnetic field was 3.9${\times}10^{-5}$ Oe(rms)/${\sqrt{Hz}}$ a 3 kHz. The output of the ac field sensor becomes saturated near the input signal level of 1 Oe(rms). The Co- Fe-B transducer exhibits peak response near 500 Hz.

A high efficiency small electromagnet (22 mm air gap and $40{\times}25mm^{2}$ core's cross section) suitable for measuring magnetostriction and magnetic anisotropy was biult. The magnet could be minaturized by reducing the measuring space and time. The excitation current of the electromagnet was supplied for only a few second of measuring time. Cooling system of the electromagnet could be eliminated since the dissipation energy was very small. An 0.5 T magnetic field was generated with 180 W power consumption. The values of magnetostriction and magnetic anisotropy were measured with a very sensitive capacitance cell with resolution of $10^{-8}$ and 1 nJ. The torque was calibrated using a soft magnetic ribbon's shape anisotropy.

Saturation rnagnetostriction and rnagnetoelastic properties of amorphous $Fe_{82}B_{18-x}Al_{x}$ and $Fe_{80}B_{20-x}Al_{x}$ alloys have been studied. Saturation magnetostriction of the alloys has increased according to the increase of AI content. The amorphous $Fe_{82}B_{14}Al_{4}$ alloy shows the highest saturation magnetostriction of 45 ppm among the alloy systems. The ratio of maximum magnetic induction change to tensile stress of this alloy is about $0.026\;T.mm^{2}/N$, and it is considered to be applicable for a high resolution mechanical sensor.

Ultrasonic transmitter used for scale prevention in boiler or heat exchanger is composed of the magnetostrictive material which transforms electric energy into ultrasonic wave and the horn which amplifies generated ultrasonic wave and transfers it into medium loaded. In this paper, we have performed the shape design for magnetostrictive material and analyzed a few type of horns which amplify generated ultrasonic wave and found each solution theoretically. Final length of the horn has been determined by measuring the sound pressure in medium between theoretical value and experience data. At last we have given the results of our study for the effects of ultrasonic wave irradiated by manufactured ultrasonic transmitter on preventing scale deposition on test pipe under the similar condition to boiler.

본 논문에서는 초음파 웨이브렛 지연시간을 이용한 초고온 온도 측정법을 기초로 하여, 이 기술을 바탕으로 두 번째 단계인 용융물 온도에서 내구성을 갖는 초음파 센서(UTS : Ultrasonic Temperature Sense)를 설계하여 약 $2300^{\circ}C$까지 실험로 내부의 온도를 측정하고자 한다. 이때 UTS 설계의 중요 인수는 센서 봉 외부 표면과 시스(sheath) 내부 표면의 두 텅스텐 재료가 비접촉 상태로 요구된다. 만약 이들 두 재료가 고온의 상태에서 접촉되면 음향적 분로인 Shunting 현상이 발생한다. 이 현상을 물리적으로 억제하기 위한 센서 설계가 필요하게 되며, 이 센서 설계의 성공 여부의 첫째 요구 조건으로서 센서 내부의 구조적으로 음향 Shunting 현상을 억제하는 기술이 필요로 하게 된다. 이들 센서의 내부 구조에 상호 접촉을 피하기 위해서 작은 공간에 새롭게 구조적 분리가 가능한 텅스텐 재료인 Standoff를 제작하여 설치하였다. 그러나 본 실험에서는 제안된 Standoff적용한 출력 신호의 신호 대 잡음 비는 소량의 개선 가능성을 확인하였으나, 다양한 Standoff의 설계와 제작이 지속적으로 진행되어야 할 것이다.

자벽고착 개념에 기초를 둔 새로운 조화센서는 다음과 같이 설명되어진다. 2단계 열처리된 Co계 비전질 percursor은 특이한 signal을 유발시키는데 이는 자속의 단계적인 변화를 나타내는 hystresisloop에 기인한다. 자장하에서의 1단계 열처리는 M-H loop에서 일축유도 자기이방성을 발생시킨다. 2단계 무자장하의 열처리는 고착된 자벽의 stepped hystresis의 특성을 나타내는데 이로인해 유용한 marker로서의 특징을 가지게 된다. 열처리동안 비정질재료의 표면과 내부에서 상당량의 산화와 결정화 과정을 거치는 것이 관찰되었다. 이오인한 표면 자벽 고착 모델의 제안은 자벽의 고착이 비정질부분과 semi-hard Co 층간의 접합면에서 가장 효과적으로 얻어지다는 것으로써 확신되어진다. 또한 자벽 고착 자장과 결정화된 Co층의 두께간의 상당한 연관성도 관찰되었다.
