Preparation and friction characteristics of self-lubricating TiN- MoS{sub 2} composite coatings

Conference ·
OSTI ID:231220
Composite coatings consisting of distinctly discrete phases of TiN and MoS{sub 2} were codeposited on graphite and Ti-6Al-4V substrates from Ti((CH3)2N)4/NH3/MoF6/H2S gas mixtures. Chemical composition and microstructure of the coatings were studied by Auger electron spectroscopy, XRD, and TEM. Friction coefficients at room temperature in air were typically in the range of 0.07 to 0.3; they remained comparable at 573 K, but increased to 0.7 to 1.0 at 673 K. A friction coefficient of {similar_to}0.3 was, however, obtained from a composite coating tested at 973 K.
