Application of WS₂ in Solid Lubricant Coating for Metal

Abstract:

WS₂ has excellent tribological properties; it is emerging of lubricating materials. MoS₂ is commonly used solid lubricants and wide range of applications, but its poor heat resistance. WS₂ can well make up for the inadequate performance of the MoS₂, but uses it as a solid lubricant in performance research on metallic materials. By friction and wear testing, the paper gets feasibility analysis of the application that WS₂ instead of MoS₂ in the field of solid lubrication, while exploring the synergies between them, laying the foundations for the manufacture of new types of composite lubrication coatings.
