Award List:
SBIR Phase I: Interface Design for Diamond-coated Steels
Award Year / Program / Phase:
2001 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency:
NSF
Principal Investigator:
Raymond Thompson
Award Amount:
$99,626.00
Abstract:
This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project seeks to develop a diamond coating technology for steel that has the chipping and spalling resistance needed for commercial applications. Friction and wear between rolling, sliding, and cutting surfaces causes lost efficiency, reduced… More

Award Year / Program / Phase:
2004 / SBIR / Phase II
Agency:
NSF
Principal Investigator:
Raymond Thompson, PI
Award Amount:
$398,768.00
Abstract:
This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will develop nanocrystalline diamond coatings on tungsten-carbide cutting tools with technical attributes that surpass the current generation of chemical vapor deposited (CVD) diamond coatings as well as tools made from polycrystalline… More

SBIR Phase I: Submicron Thick Nanostructured Diamond Films
Award Year / Program / Phase:
2007 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency:
NSF
Principal Investigator:
Valery V. Konovalov, PhD
Award Amount:
$99,999.00
Abstract:
This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project proposes to investigate the feasibility of using hard ultra-smooth nanostructured diamond (NSD) for application in submicron thick X-ray windows. In terms of sorting metal scrap at high speed with a micron-thick film intermittently in… More
STTR Phase I: Integrated Design of Nanostructured Diamond Coated Drills (for Dry Drilling of High-strength Automotive Powertrain Components)
Award Year / Program / Phase:
2008 / STTR / Phase I
Agency:
NSF
Research Institution:
The University of Alabama
Abstract:
This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project seeks to overcome one of the barriers to widespread acceptance of diamond coating technologies for cutting aluminum alloys which is to fabricate functional diamond coated drills. Drilling is among the most difficult of the machining… More
