Deposition, characterization and performance evaluation of ceramic coatings on metallic substrates for supercritical water-cooled reactors

►Studied the feasibilities for ceramic coatings under supercritical water conditions. ►Deposited ceramic coatings on P91 and Zircaloy substrates by different techniques. ►Demonstrated alumina as the most promising coating materials on P91. ►Suggested further studies for the ceramic coatings on Zircaloy.
