Solid lubricant behavior of MoS2 and WSe2-based nanocomposite coatings
Tribological coatings made of MoS2 and WSe2 phases and their corresponding combinations with tungsten carbide (WC) were prepared by non-reactive magnetron sputtering of individual targets of similar composition. A comparative tribological analysis of these multiphase coatings was done in both ambient air (30-40% relative humidity, RH) and dry nitrogen (RH<7%) environments using the same tribome...
متن کاملMicrostructural and Chemical Analysis of AgI Coatings Used as a Solid Lubricant in Electrical Sliding Contacts
AgI coatings have been deposited by electroplating on Ag plated Cu coupons. Electron microscopy shows that the coatings consist of weakly agglomerated AgI grains. X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry and mass spectrometry show that the AgI exhibits a reversible transformation from hexagonal to cubic phase at 150 °C. AgI starts to decompose at 150 °C with an acc...
متن کاملCumulative damage modeling of solid lubricant coatings that experience wear and interfacial fatigue
bstract Solid lubricating coatings comprise a large segment of tribological materials and under a spherical contact the coating/substrate interface xperiences cyclic shear stress that leads to delamination of the coatings from the substrate and premature failure. The polymeric solid lubricating oating used in this study is an expanded PTFE/epoxy composite. The coatings experience cumulative dam...
متن کاملCharacterization of tungsten tips for STM by SEM/AES/XPS
For the first time, both X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) techniques were applied in analysis of surface contamination of electrochemically etched Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) tungsten tips. Carbon monoxide, graphite, tungsten carbide and tungsten oxide were found as main surface contaminations of STM tungsten tips. The thickness of tungsten ox...
متن کاملAnalysis of protein coatings on gold nanoparticles by XPS and liquid-based particle sizing techniques.
The precise use of nanoparticles in technological applications requires control over their surface properties. This implies the ability to quantitatively describe, for example, molecular coatings in terms of their thickness, areal mass, or number of molecules. Here, the authors describe two different approaches to the measurement of these parameters by using gold nanoparticles ranging in diamet...
