Robust superlubricity with steel surfaces in sliding contacts

Patent ·
OSTI ID:2542929

A low friction wear surface with a coefficient of friction in the superlubric regime under a sliding and rolling movement. The low friction wear surface includes molybdenum disulfide and graphene oxide on a first wear surface with a tribolayer formed on a rough steel counter surface during the sliding and rolling movement. Methods of producing the low friction wear surface are also provided.
