Abstract

See full text

Example embodiments are directed to providing a thin, adherent coating on the surfaces of nuclear reactor components, which are known to cause increased corrosion on adjacent zirconium alloy structures, and methods of reducing the increased corrosion. Example embodiments include coatings being structurally bonded to components such that the difference in the corrosion potential between a coated component and a zirconium alloy component is less than that between a component without the coating and the zirconium alloy component.
