Introduction Perovskite oxide thin films possess various novel properties and are considered as one of the most important material families to meet challenges of nanotechnology.
Therefore, interfacial structure and the lattice mismatch at the interface between the film and substrate play a key role in controlling epitaxial quality, microstructure and physical properties of the films.
The lattice misfit can be used to enhance the Curie temperature of high temperature superconductor [7], to alter the Curie temperature of ferromagnetic transition in CMR materials [8], magnetic properties of ferrite films [9,10,11,12], and the dielectric properties in ferroelectric materials [13].

Therefore, retention of its reliability is a key technique for the life-time maintenance of nuclear power plant.
Furthermore, the reliability of ultrasonic ISI is influenced by the inspection environment, material characteristics and types of defect.
As for the specimen, pipe-to-pipe specimen identical to the weld specimen used in nuclear power plant was developed on two piping specimen with different dimensions and materials, one of which was processed with different sizes and shapes of EDM notch on two welding parts and the other with fatigue crack and EDM notch.
Specimen materials were 304L stainless steel SA312 and TP347 stainless steel.
