The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Michigan State University to develop a process that includes electrochemical boriding of metal substrates, the deposition of tetrahedral bonded amorphous (ta-C) and nanocrystalline diamond on the borided metal substrates to develop wear and corrosion resistant surfaces for application in harsh conditions. Testing of metal substrates would include corrosion, tribological, and materials testing.
