چکیده
Tribological coatings of yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ), gold, diamond like carbon (DLC) and MoS2 were synthesized using magnetron assisted pulsed laser deposition (MSPLD). The coatings were synthesized in four-component and three-component combinations that included YSZ/Au/DLC/MoS2, YSZ/Au/MoS2, and YSZ/Au/DLC. A range of coating compositions was studied to explore coating optimization for low friction in varying environments (dry, humid and high temperature). For four-component YSZ/Au/DLC/MoS2 coatings, the optimal compositions for friction adaptation between dry nitrogen and humid air included relatively high concentrations of the soft phase, Au (>20 at. %), and low amounts of the hard phases, DLC and YSZ. Ex situ Raman spectroscopy analysis indicates that friction adaptation involves a combination of both lubricating species, MoS2 and carbon where transitions of DLC to graphitic-carbon and amorphous MoS2 to its hexagonal phase occurs after cycling between both room temperature humid air and dry nitrogen. In large carbon concentrations (>30 at. %), the DLC component was found to be detrimental for friction in dry nitrogen and humid air, but promoted a longer coating wear life at 500°C. The three-component coating of YSZ/Au/MoS2 performed well in both dry nitrogen and humid air, suggesting a synergism between Au and MoS2, where carbon was not necessary for lubrication in humid air.

Nanohydroxyapatite-carbon nanotube composite coatings were deposited via electrophoretic deposition (EPD). AISI 316L stainless steel and ethanol were used as substrate and dispersing medium, respectively. 5%wt carbon nanotube (CNT) was used as reinforcing phase. Uniform and macrocrack-free coatings were obtained both for hydroxyapatite (HA) and HA-5%wt CNT coatings. Scanning electron micros...

متن کاملTribological Performance of MoS2 Coatings in Various Environments
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is a well-known solid lubricant for tribosystems running in vacuum or dry gases. Problems arise due to its sensitivity to humidity, which is a drawback for its application under ambient conditions. However, by using a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process, deposition parameters can be optimized not only to gain a coatings structure with favorable frictional propert...
