This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will develop the process necessary to bring nano-diamond coating technology to the cutting tool market. The technical objective of producing a commercial size lot of nano-diamond coated cutting tools will be accomplished through application of the hot-filament Chemical Vapor Deposition process, which is the only economical process that produces a uniform diamond coating over several hundred square inches in a single batch operation. The technical approach will consist of migrating the current microwave-plasma CVD process to the hot-filament CVD process. Commercially, the immediate application for diamond-coated tools is machining aluminum-based metals and composites for the automotive industry. The 2001 automotive cutting-tool market for machining these materials was $780M. The potential market for applying the diamond coating to these tools is $53M in 2002 with a forecasted market growth rate of 4percent so that it is an important development.

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目将开发必要的过程，使纳米金刚石涂层技术的切削工具市场。生产商业规模的纳米金刚石涂层刀具的技术目标将通过应用热灯丝化学气相沉积工艺来实现，这是唯一经济的工艺，在一个单一的批量操作中产生超过几百平方英寸的均匀金刚石涂层。技术方法将包括将当前的微波等离子体CVD工艺迁移到热丝CVD工艺。 在商业上，金刚石涂层刀具的直接应用是加工汽车工业的铝基金属和复合材料。2001年用于加工这些材料的汽车切削刀具市场为7.8亿美元。2002年，在这些工具上应用金刚石涂层的潜在市场为5300万美元，预计市场增长率为40%，因此这是一个重要的发展。
