Abstract
The paper shortly describes the methods of boron carbide coating deposition and presents the experimental results characterizing the properties of boron carbide coatings and of boron doped graphites important to their application as the plasma facing materials of fusion devices and other plasma apparatus dealing with dense and high temperature plasma. Conclusion is made that thick renewable boron carbide coating can successfully be used as the protecting coating of plasma facing elements of ITER.
