ABSTRACT:
A method for enhancing the wear and corrosion resistance of a tubular nuclear fuel assembly component (40), comprising the step of coating the component with a corrosion and wear resistant material by an anodic arc plasma deposition process (70). The coating is preferably a nitride reactively formed during the plasma deposition process. The component is preferably a nuclear fuel rod cladding tube and the coating material is one of ZrN or TiN.
