Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Tech Transfer
High Temperature Resistance Claddings for Nuclear Thermal Rockets, Phase I
Project Introduction
This program will develop a series of nano-/micro-composite coated nuclear reactor facing components using MesoCoat's CermaCladTM process. This proposed SBIR program will build on MesoCoat's extensive prior experience with high energy density fusion cladding systems for large area applications (pipe, plate, structures) where wear and/or corrosion limit the life of metal structures
