Patent ID: 11715572

Abstract:
Process for manufacturing a composite nuclear component comprising i) a support containing a substrate comprising a metallic material and a ceramic material (1), the substrate (1) being coated or not coated with an interposed layer (3) positioned between the substrate (1) and at least one protective layer (2) and ii) the protective layer (2) composed of a protective material comprising chromium; the process comprising a step a) of vaporizing a mother solution followed by a step b) of depositing the protective layer (2) onto the support via a DLI-MOCVD deposition process.Composite nuclear component comprising i) a support containing a substrate comprising a metallic material and a ceramic material (1), the substrate (1) being coated or not coated with an interposed layer (3) positioned between the substrate (1) and at least one protective layer (2) and ii) the protective layer (2) composed of a protective material comprising chromium; the process comprising a step a) of vaporizing a mother solution followed by a step b) of depositing the protective layer (2) onto the support via a DLI-MOCVD deposition process. The composite nuclear component has improved resistance to oxidation and/or migration of undesired material. The invention also relates to the use of the composite nuclear component for combating oxidation and/or degradation of the ceramic material contained in the substrate.
