Abstract
The surface of the component (1, 2) to be protected is scanned, a jet of semitransferred arc plasma (17) into which a metal powder is introduced. The process can be applied to the production of a layer of coating (18) on the outer surface of a region of welding connection (3) between a nozzle (1) and a primary pipe (2) of a pressurized water nuclear reactor or to the coating of the inner surface or the connecting surface of an adapter passing through the reactor vessel head.
