IDEA #6UYC2X Novel Ion-Plasma And Plasma-Chemical Coating Technologies

SCIENTIFIC INNOVATIVE PROJECTS FROM ACADEMY OF TECHNOLOGICAL SCIENCES OF UKRAINE NOVEL ION%PLASMA AND PLASMA%CHEMICAL COATING TECHNOLOGIES Description Technologies are developed and the equipment is modern(cid:28) ized for deposition of the different types of coatings on the metal and ceramic substrates. The deposition methods are based on novel vacuum ion(cid:28)plasma and plasma(cid:28) chemical processes. General view of the equipment is shown on the fig. 1. It is possible to deposit: Pure metals (Ni; Ti; Cu; W; Mo; Cr etc.); Their nitrides; Carbides and carbide(cid:28)nitrides; Oxides etc. The wear resistance of the articles after deposition of the coatings increases in up to 10 times. The layers from refractory metals have extra high corro(cid:28) sion resistance, close to enamel. As the example, the tung(cid:28) sten coated chemical reactor shown on fig. 2. was tested in the pharmaceutical industry and demonstrated high per(cid:28) formance. Additionally to high corrosion resistance it has high Shock and Thermo(cid:28)shock resistance. Proposed products are: equipment and coated articles according to client requirements. Innovative Aspects and Main Advantages There are the following main advantages of proposed prod(cid:28) ucts: Equipment is much less expensive then European ana(cid:28) logues with the same quality. Estimated cost of the coated samples is three times lower then European analogues. The delivering time is inside two(cid:28)three days. Four Ukrainian patent applications were filed to protect the novelties in the technologies. Areas of Application The technologies are applicable in airspace industry; atom(cid:28) ic industry; engineering and other sectors. Stage of Development The equipment and technologies are ready for small(cid:28)scale production. It is possible to modify the technology up to client require(cid:28) ments. We are looking for the partners for product promotion to the European market.
