This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II project is seeking the transfer and further development and commercialization of a new low temperature metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (LT-MOCVD) technology for boride coatings. The project will work to develop coatings for characterizations of adhesion, microstructure, morphology, composition and hardness. Selected coatings will be tested for friction and wear and corrosion resistance under laboratory test conditions on various common engineering substrate materials. The precursor preparation process will be scaled up and deposition will be done in an industrial scale deposition system. The coating process will be optimized for high hardness and good adhesion. Optimized coatings will be applied to components for testing at end users' facilities under production conditions.The broader impact/commercial potential of wear and corrosion resistant coatings are very attractive for their high hardness and good chemical stability, and have potential for many applications in the manufacturing sector in United States. The process developed in this project, of deposition of borides, will enable a wide spectrum of applications including cutting tools, die casting dies and inserts, transfer rolls for flat glass, components for chemical processes, armament industries, automotive and aerospace industries.

该小型企业技术转让 (STTR) 第二阶段项目正在寻求用于硼化物涂层的新型低温金属有机化学气相沉积 (LT-MOCVD) 技术的转让、进一步开发和商业化。该项目将致力于开发用于表征附着力、微观结构、形态、成分和硬度的涂层。选定的涂层将在实验室测试条件下对各种常见的工程基材材料进行摩擦磨损和耐腐蚀性测试。前体制备工艺将扩大规模，沉积将在工业规模沉积系统中完成。涂层工艺将得到优化，以实现高硬度和良好的附着力。优化的涂层将应用于在最终用户设施的生产条件下进行测试的部件。耐磨和耐腐蚀涂层具有更广泛的影响/商业潜力，因其高硬度和良好的化学稳定性而非常有吸引力，并且在美国制造业中具有许多应用潜力。该项目开发的硼化物沉积工艺将实现广泛的应用，包括切削工具、压铸模具和镶件、平板玻璃传输辊、化学工艺部件、军火工业、汽车和航空航天工业。
