We have studied on a magnetization process of soft magnetic materials, electrical steel sheets and nanocrystalline alloys, under stress, by investigating DC magnetization curves. As well known, a hysteresis loss of electrical steel sheets increases under compression. We found that the hysteresis loss of nanocrystalline alloys does not depend on stress. In this paper, experimental results and an interpretation on the loss mechanism were described. We have interpreted the magnetization process under compression as follows: magnetic domains distribute perpendicular to compression due to magnetoelasticity; the magnetization process is 90 degree domain wall movements in the domains. Based on this interpretation, the hysteresis loss under compression is well understood. Electrical steel sheets have crystal grains; so, the domain wall is trapped at the grain boundary in the movement process; then, hysteresis loss generates. On the other hand, nanocrytalline alloys have no crystal grains; therefore, the domain wall movement is smoothly and there is no hysteresis loss.

We used a tensile test in order to evaluate and quantify the adhesion of the scales in the hot rolling process. When loaded with tensile stress, the behavior of the scales goes through the following three stages: 1 The scales have only residual stress 2 The scales and the steel are both elastically deformed 3 The scales are elastically deformed but the steel is plastically deformed. For these three stages, the strain energy accumulated in the scales before spalling was calculated and then the adhesion energy was derived. For about 4 μm thick scales on 99.9% Fe and Fe–1.0%C the adhesion energies were 1.70 J/m2 and 36.2 J/m2, respectively. The adhesion energies determined by a scratch test were 2.90 J/m2, and 31.6 J/m2 each. Thus, the results of the two tests are approximately in agreement.
