Abstract

The solid lubricant that is coated on a flat surface is easily removed during friction. Surface texture dimples, which act as reservoirs of solid lubricant, can prolong the wear life of solid lubricant films. We textured silver-containing nickel-based alloys by a pulse laser and filled the micro-dimples with molybdenum disulfide powders. The tribological properties of the alloys were tested by rubbing against alloyed steel on a ring-on-disk tribometer at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 600°C . After laser surface texturing, the friction coefficients of the silver-containing nickel-based alloy smeared with molybdenum disulfide powders were reduced at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 400°C. With increasing dimple density, the wear life of the MoS2 film increased while the wear rate of the nickel-based alloy decreased. The wear life of the textured surface with a dimple density of 11.2% exceeded 10,000 m at room temperature. We conclude that molybdenum disulfide and its oxides stored in the micro-dimples play a role in lubrication at room temperature and high temperatures, respectively.
