Abstract
The effect of neutron bombardment on carbide and boride coatings on refractory metals was studied. It was found that a radiation dose of 1020 neutrons/cm2 produces cracking of the carbide coatings and exfoliation of the boride coatings. The radiation resistance of coatings of the kind studied depends to a large extent on the difference in the radiation-induced expansion of the coating and the substrate material.
