Abstract

The development of coating materials and processes was carried out with the objective to reduce material degradation in supercritical water. Based on the test results of bulk coating alloys (FeCrAlY and NiCrAl), two coating processes, plasma spray of dense NiCrAlY and pack aluminizing, have been developed to apply coatings to candidate stainless steels and Ni-based alloys. The SCW test results and microstructure characterization of both coating alloys and coated candidate alloys are presented in this short paper.
