In a high-temperature sulfuric acid environment, Alloy600 showed a high corrosion rate of 0.40 mm/year, while Alloy800H and 3Al-Ferrite exhibited much lower rates of 0.03 to 0.01 mm/year. Four-point bending tests revealed the stress to reach 0.2 % yield stress followed the order: 3Al-Ferrite 
Alloy600 Alloy800H. Bending strain at 80 % of 0.2 % yield stress was highest in Alloy800H and lowest in 3Al-Ferrite, indicating its low deformability. Post-corrosion microstructural analysis revealed that Alloy800H and 3Al-Ferrite formed thin oxide films with no cracks, whereas Alloy600, which developed a thick multilayered oxide film composed of Ni, Fe and Cr, exhibited open cracks. Electron Backscattered Diffraction (EBSD) and Grain Reference Orientation Deviation (GROD) maps confirmed intergranular crack growth and residual tensile stress in Alloy600. These findings indicate that Alloy600, primarily composed of Ni and Cr, formed a spallation and degradation oxide film and subsequently generated oxides that weakened the grain boundaries, thereby promoting the occurrence of Stress Accelerated Grain Boundary Oxidation (SAGBO).

A comparative analysis of the 0.2 % yield stress in SUS304L stainless steel revealed that lower strain rates and higher temperatures significantly reduce yield stress. Grain refinement from 68.6 
m to 0.59 m minimally impacted the rate of yield stress reduction at slower strain rates. However, finer grains showed a decrease in yield stress at reactor operating temperature compared to room temperature. In slow strain rate tests under conditions promoting intragranular stress corrosion cracking (SCC), SUS304L with grain sizes of 28.4 m or smaller exhibited similar fracture strains comparable to those at reactor operating temperatures, whereas coarse-grained SUS304L showed reduced fracture strain. Microstructural analysis showed that in smaller grains, over 87 % of the fracture surface was ductile. In particular, SUS304L with 0.59 m grains exhibited a higher presence of {111} / 
3 boundaries, which decreased with grain growth. These results indicate that grain refinement will suppress intragranular SCC by slowing corrosion progression through increased {111} / 3 boundaries.

Si oxide films are currently widely used as insulating materials in electronic devices and biomaterials. The atomic bonding state of these films significantly influences the properties of each device, thus it is particularly necessary to understand and control the chemical bonding state between Si and O in the films. In this study, the Si oxide films formed by anodic oxidation on Si substrate surfaces in extremely low concentrations of HF solutions were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy mainly focusing on Si2p and F1s spectra. Although the HF concentration is in the order of ppm, the films contain percent order of F atoms, suggesting the formation of Si-F and Si-O-F bonds in the films. It was also found that the different depth profiles for F and O atoms was observed, indicating that the surface reaction processes seem to be different depending on each element.
