Reference number : GC-2017-Q2-00453, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Egberts, Philip (University of Calgary), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Alberta, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for Universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : Reliable protective coatings on steels and ferrous alloys is the approved route to increase wear and corrosion_x000D_
resistance of tubing, casing and different engineering components in downhole oil production and mineral_x000D_
processing. As one of the options, boronizing technology can be successfully employed for this purpose. New_x000D_
coatings with potentially improved tribological properties require extensive studies in the friction and_x000D_
friction-corrosion conditions, as well as the evaluation of these properties with regards to the coating_x000D_
composition, and structure. Endurance Technologies Inc. has the process for producing the protective coatings_x000D_
on steels and ferrous alloys at the industrial scale. However, additional studies are required for the better_x000D_
understanding of the coatings' performance, especially, for new coatings, e.g. the effect of the_x000D_
service/application conditions on the structure and materials destruction mechanism. In particular, a focus on_x000D_
evaluating the nano- and microstructure of the metal will be critical in reducing wear rates to an acceptable_x000D_
nanometres reduction in pipe thickness per hour of operation. These studies will be used for the further_x000D_
development and optimization of the coatings with functional properties, in particular for the products for_x000D_
