Developing a system to evaluate candidate coatings following an immersion test in molten CuCl at 500 °C for a prolonged time.

The materials were evaluated using electrochemical methods in combination with ex-situ surface analysis.

The development of functional coatings for improving the stability and performance of the coatings has been considered.

Despite corrosion and erosion within YSZ coating layers, it got survived during the immersion tests.
