Abstract: Disclosed are a method for coating metal, a metal member comprising the coating layer formed thereby, and a fuel cell separator. A method for coating metal according to an embodiment of the present invention includes preparing a metal base material; and forming a molten pool by irradiating a laser to a surface of the metal base material and forming a coating layer using an additive manufacturing by supplying a powder made of any one of Si, SiC, and a mixture of Cr and Al to the molten pool.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a zirconium alloy cladding with improved oxidation resistance at a high temperature and a method of manufacturing the same. More particularly, the zirconium alloy cladding includes a zirconium alloy cladding; and a Cr—Al thin film coated on the cladding, wherein the thin film is deposited through arc ion plating and the content of Al in the thin film is 5% by weight to 20% by weight.

Abstract: A process of manufacturing zirconium alloy. The process may be used to make a nuclear fuel guide tube and/or a measuring tube which are main components of a nuclear fuel assembly structure. While a nuclear fuel guide tube and a measuring tube are manufactured by performing three-step cold working, and intermediate and final thermal annealing from a semi-finished TREX shell in the conventional method, the present invention relates to zirconium alloy undergoing two-step cold working, and intermediate and final thermal annealing from a TREX shell, resulting in enhanced strength and corrosion resistance.
