Abstract
SiC materials were coated by various technologies to produce Cr-based mitigation coatings as a corrosion barrier in LWR water chemistry. In all cases, deposition of Cr compounds requires that SiC behave as a cathode during processing, which requires surface electrical conductivity. Morphology and phase analysis of the coatings are still undergoing investigation, mainly for predicting differential swelling, thermal expansion and microcracking. Autoclave corrosion and in-pile irradiation in a PWR water loop will follow in mid-2016.
