POROUS BODIES, SUCH AS CARBON OR GRAPHITE, WITH AN IMPERMEABLE SURFACE, ESPECIALLY FOR ARC ELECTRODES OR FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF NUCLEAR REACTORS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4837584

Porous bodies consisting of graphite or silicon carbide (such as fuel element cans) are made impermeable to fluids by coating them with a bottom layer which consists of a carbide of Zr, Si, and/or Ti and a top layer which consists of Zr, Si, and/or Ti or their silicides. Other metals can be incorporated in the coatings. Examples of the method of applying coatings are given. (NPO)
