Reliable protective coatings on steels and ferrous alloys is the approved route to increase wear and corrosionresistance of tubing, casing and different engineering components in downhole oil production and mineralprocessing. As one of the options, boronizing technology can be successfully employed for this purpose. Newcoatings with potentially improved tribological properties require extensive studies in the friction andfriction-corrosion conditions, as well as the evaluation of these properties with regards to the coatingcomposition, and structure. Endurance Technologies Inc. has the process for producing the protective coatingson steels and ferrous alloys at the industrial scale. However, additional studies are required for the betterunderstanding of the coatings' performance, especially, for new coatings, e.g. the effect of theservice/application conditions on the structure and materials destruction mechanism. In particular, a focus onevaluating the nano- and microstructure of the metal will be critical in reducing wear rates to an acceptablenanometres reduction in pipe thickness per hour of operation. These studies will be used for the furtherdevelopment and optimization of the coatings with functional properties, in particular for the products forfriction and friction-corrosion applications.

钢和铁合金上的可靠保护涂层是提高井下石油生产和矿物加工中油管、套管和不同工程部件的耐磨性和耐腐蚀性的认可途径。渗硼技术是实现这一目标的有效方法之一。具有潜在改进摩擦学性能的新涂层需要在摩擦和摩擦腐蚀条件下进行广泛的研究，以及对涂层成分和结构的这些性能进行评估。耐力技术公司具有工业规模生产钢和铁合金防护涂层的方法。然而，为了更好地理解涂层的性能，特别是对于新涂层，例如服务/应用条件对结构和材料破坏机理的影响，需要进行额外的研究。特别是，重点评估金属的纳米和微观结构将是至关重要的，在减少磨损率到可接受的纳米或减少管道厚度每小时的操作。这些研究将用于进一步开发和优化具有功能特性的涂层，特别是用于摩擦和摩擦腐蚀应用的产品。
