CVD Equipment Corporation (NASDAQ: CVV), announced today that
its subsidiary, CVD MesoScribe Technologies Corporation has been
awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II
contract, valued at approximately $750K. The two (2) year contract
was awarded following successful completion of the Company’s Phase
I SBIR contract with the Air Force.
The Phase II SBIR contract was issued on March 11th, 2021 by the
Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at Wright Patterson AFB, OH to
further develop MesoScribe’s Direct Write technology to deposit
high quality metallic and ceramic coatings onto gas turbine engine
components. The Phase II contract will develop the technology to
enable high-definition coatings onto knife edge seal components to
meet US Air Force 76 PMXG qualification specifications, while
eliminating traditional part masking requirements.
This follows a SBIR Phase II contract which was issued in
January of 2020, by Arnold Engineering Development Center, Arnold
AFB, to develop printed temperature and heat flux sensors to
support hypersonic flight system testing, evaluation, and
application development. MesoScribe’s additive manufacturing
technology, MesoPlasma™ printing will be used to fabricate sensors
onto ceramic matrix composite (CMC) materials and tested in high
temperature environments representative of hypersonic flight.
“The two Phase II projects will enable the development of
integrated sensor products on carbon-carbon and oxide-based CMC
materials as well as provide cost effective solutions to deposit
coatings onto knife edge seal engine components. The proposed
technology development will not only benefit the hypersonics
community but provides opportunities to solve material challenges
associated with sensor integration onto CMC parts within advanced
gas turbine engines. We look forward to working with our Air Force
program sponsors and stakeholders to validate MesoScribe’s sensor
performance in high temperature environments,” said Dr. Jeff
Brogan, Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
“We are excited for this opportunity to leverage our prior
efforts in sensor fabrication and material printing to develop new
products. This effort in CMC instrumentation is aligned with our
CVD Equipment focus on manufacturing chemical vapor deposition
systems to coat silicon carbide fibers and CMC preform materials in
our aerospace and defense markets,” Brogan said.
“MesoScribe continues to explore new areas of additive
manufacturing and MesoPlasma™ printed instrumentation in emerging
aerospace applications, providing opportunities to support critical
manufacturing initiatives,” said Manny Lakios, President and Chief
Executive Officer.
