The Technological Factors and Operating Conditions Influence on the Molybdenum Disulfide Coatings Tribological Properties
Journal Title: Journal of Materials and Engineering - Year 2023, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Molybdenum disulfide is a widely used solid lubricant operates successfully under extreme conditions such as vacuum, high or low temperatures, high loads etc. Magnetron sputtering is one of the most common method of application MoS2 coatings. It allows one to apply thin antifrictional films with high rate of purity on different substrates. The surface before application is usually prepared by abrasive processing. The aim of the work is to evaluate the magnetron deposition modes, substrate surface preparation, substrate roughness on the molybdenum disulfide coatings tribological properties. For the purpose mentioned a linearly reciprocating Ball-on-Flat (ASTM G133) Sliding Wear tests in vacuum (pressure less than 10-4 mbar) and high temperature (250 ¬¬¬0C) were conducted. The two different materials as a coating substrate was used (stainless steel and brass). The substrate surface was sandblasted. The coating surfaces structure after wear and chemical composition have been studied. The friction coefficient in vacuum at 250 °C was about 0.02–0.05. The least value was observed for the AISI 316L steel substrate treated by sandpaper and Ra 0.10 µm roughness coatings. The negative bias voltage (–20 V) during magnetron deposition leads to 16–42% lower coefficient of friction. Oxygen decreases the anti-friction properties.
