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/…
