To enhance the accident-tolerance of the nuclear system, one strategy is to modify the Zr-based alloy cladding surface with advanced ceramic coating. In this work, monolithic and dense Cr_2AlC coating has been synthesized by magnetron sputtering. The as-grown Cr_2AlC coating exhibits good chemical compatibility with Zr-based alloy substrate as well as mechanical integrity under both pull-off and scratch tests. The coating system also presents moderate thermochemical compatibility at 800℃ but degrades above 1000℃ under simulated loss-of-coolant accident(LOCA) conditions.展开更多

Particularly, various targets synthesized by hot pressing mixture of Cr, Al, and C powders at 650-1000 ℃ were used. It was found that regardless of the phase compositions and density of the com- posite targets, when the molar ratio of Cr：Al：C in the starting materials was 2：1：1, phase-pure crystalline Cr2AlC coatings were prepared by magnetron sputtering and post crystallization. The Cr2AIC coatings were dense and crack-free and had a duplex structure. The adhesion strength of the coating deposited on M38G superalloy from the 800 ℃ hot-pressed target and then annealed at 620 ℃ for 20 h in Ar exceeded 82 ± 6 MPa, while its hardness was 12 ± 3 GPa.展开更多
