CVD Equipment Corporation's Subsidiary Awarded $750K SBIR Phase II Contract

Strategic Insights -

CVD MesoScribe Technologies Corporation, a subsidiary of CVD Equipment Corporation, has been awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract valued at approximately $750K. The contract, issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), aims to further develop MesoScribe's Direct Write technology to deposit high-quality metallic and ceramic coatings onto gas turbine engine components. This technology will enable high-definition coatings onto knife edge seal components to meet US Air Force 76 PMXG qualification specifications while eliminating traditional part masking requirements.

Key Takeaways:

  • CVD MesoScribe Technologies Corporation was awarded a $750K SBIR Phase II contract to develop MesoScribe's Direct Write technology for high-quality coatings on gas turbine engine components.
  • The technology will enable high-definition coatings onto knife edge seal components to meet US Air Force 76 PMXG qualification specifications.
  • The contract follows a previous SBIR Phase II contract issued by Arnold Engineering Development Center to develop printed temperature and heat flux sensors for hypersonic flight system testing.
  • MesoScribe's additive manufacturing technology, MesoPlasma[TM] printing, will be used to fabricate sensors onto ceramic matrix composite (CMC) materials and tested in high-temperature environments representative of hypersonic flight.
  • The proposed technology development will benefit the hypersonics community and provide opportunities to solve material challenges associated with sensor integration onto CMC parts within advanced gas turbine engines.
  • CVD Equipment Corporation's subsidiary, CVD Materials Corporation, provides advanced materials and metal surface treatments and coatings to serve demanding applications in various industrial markets.

Statistics:

  • The SBIR Phase II contract is valued at approximately $750K.
  • The contract will be completed over a two-year period.
  • The technology aims to deposit high-quality metallic and ceramic coatings.
  • The US Air Force 76 PMXG qualification specifications will be met through the use of high-definition coatings.
  • The contract follows a previous SBIR Phase II contract issued in January 2020 by Arnold Engineering Development Center.
