Self-lubricating, TiN-MoS{sub 2} composite coatings produced by simultaneous deposition from Ti((CH{sub 3}){sub 2}N){sub 4}/NH{sub 3}/MoF{sub 6}H{sub 2}S gas mixtures

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:52853
Composite coatings consisting of discrete phases of TiN and MoS{sub 2} were codeposited on graphite substrates from Ti((CH{sub 3}){sub 2}N){sub 4}/NH{sub 3}/MoF{sub 6}/H{sub 2}S gas mixtures in a cold-wall reactor at 1,073 K and 1.3 kPa. Chemical composition and microstructure of the coatings were characterized by Auger electron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. Kinetic friction coefficients of the coatings were determined by a computer-controlled friction microprobe and values less than 0.2 were obtained with a type-440C stainless-steel counterface under ambient condition.
