Scope of application, analogues, novelty and advantages of the development: the technology is designed to produce protective wear-resistant coatings for friction units experiencing combined loads.
The novelty of the development lies in the fact that when creating protective coatings, not pure aluminum oxide is used, but its combination with other metals in the form of cermets.
Investor risks, competition in the market: the risks of developers and investors consist in a possible change in the nomenclature of hardened parts during the purchase of equipment and the organization of the production site, as well as in a possible increase in the cost of materials used to implement the technology. As a rule, a change in the nomenclature leads to the need to correct the technology of modification of powder material, or the composition of mechanical mixtures, which is provided for in the basic. A measure to reduce this risk may be to increase the degree of versatility of the software.
Legal protection of intellectual property objects: patents № 21612, № 21217, № 21914, № 21612.
Environmental safety: the level of environmental friendliness in obtaining protective coatings is quite high. Considering the chemical neutrality of oxide ceramics, as well as the fact that nitrogen is used as a plasma-forming gas, the harmful effect on the environment is minimal.
Scientific and technical significance, description: the process of obtaining modified powders to create wear-resistant coatings is realized by holding the powder at high temperatures in a mixture with modifying additives in a rotating container (for example, molybdenum and boron). The peculiarity of the process is that alumina, which has a low cost, is used as the starting material. The process of modification of aluminum oxide, in the presence of boron-containing components, makes it possible to obtain boron-clad powder particles.
Need for investment. Investment attractiveness: the investment attractiveness of the project follows according to published marketing research. Recently, the global market for thermal spraying has already exceeded $ 13 billion per year, while in 2010 it was estimated at only $ 4-5 billion. At the same time, the share of plasma ceramic coatings is at least 15% and continues to grow continuously. The exact business plan for this project has not been developed. The approximate payback period may be 3.5 – 4 years
