Abstract:
A composite nuclear reactor component comprises a support and a protective layer (2). The support contains a substrate (1) based on a metal. The substrate is coated with an interposed layer (3) positioned between the substrate (1) and the protective layer (2). The protective layer (2) is composed of a material which comprises amorphous chromium carbide. The nuclear reactor component provides for improved resistance to oxidation, hydriding, and/or migration of undesired material.
