Abstract

Magnetization measurements were carried out on a number of neutron- irradiated austenitic stainless steel specimens. Variation of magnetization with field indicates that the magnetic phase particles are very small so that the particles show superparamagnetic behavior. The temperature dependence of the magnetization indicates that more than one ferromagnetic phase may be present in some of the specimens. Postirradiation annealing at 500$sup 0$C increased the quantity of magnetic phase in specimens that had been irradiated at 425$sup 0$C and annealing in a magnetic field of 33 kOe has the effect of increasing the total quantity of magnetic phase but reducing the average size of the magnetic particles.
