Argonne researchers win 2 R&D 100 Awards
Date:7/17/2008

material, and among its many benefits it saves energy by reducing friction on the sealing surface.

The UNCD Mechanical Seals were jointly developed by a team from Argonne, Advanced Diamond Technologies, Inc., (ADT), Romeoville, Ill., and John Crane Inc., Morton Grove, Ill. The Argonne team included former Argonne process development engineer John Hryn, now senior development associate at Praxair, Inc.; Gregory Krumdick, engineer; Jeffrey Elam, chemist; and Joseph Libera, post-doctoral appointee. The ADT contributors included Charles West, vice president of engineering, James Netzel, director of seals engineering, and John Carlisle, chief technical officer. The John Crane team included Douglas Volden, new products director; Joe Haas, vice president of engineering; and Rick Page, vice president of marketing.

EERE's Industrial Technologies Program provided funding for the development of the UNCD Mechanical Seals.

ADT, an Argonne spin-off based in Romeoville, Ill., secured the rights from Argonne to commercialize the technology in 2004 and has since then actively pursued several applications for it, including mechanical seals. ADT has developed a commercial manufacturing platform for making UNCD Seals in volume with exceptional reproducibility and quality. John Crane, the world's largest manufacturer of seals and associated products, performed exhaustive tests that demonstrated that the UNCD-enhanced seals have a significant tribological advantage that improves the performance capabilities of mechanical seals when compared to conventional mechanical seal face materials.

Interestingly, the UNCD thin film production technology that was developed in 2002 by Argonne and iplas GmbH, near Cologne, Germany, won an R&D 100 Award in 2003. UNCD marked the first-ever affordable diamond film suitable for mass production of a wide range of diamond-based microelectromechanical systems, nanoelectromechanical system devices, biodevices, biosensors
