Abstract
Ti/MoS2 coating of thickness 99.79 nm was prepared by pulse laser deposition method on Al-Si substrate. Mechanical and nanotribological properties of Ti/MoS2 coating were obtained by carrying out nanoindentation, nanoscratch and nanowear tests at low loads. It was observed that Young's modulus and nanohardness of Ti/MoS2 coating decrease with increasing load. The coefficient of friction also decreases with the increase in sliding distance, which proves that Ti/MoS2 coating have self-lubricating property. The wear rate of Ti/MoS2 coating increases from 5.7 × 10−10 mm3/Nm to 2.1 × 10−9 mm3/Nm with the increase in load. Scanning probe microscope images of Ti/MoS2 coating shows the plastic flow of coating with no debris and cracks on the surface. It indicates that the abrasive wear is the main wear mechanism.
期刊介绍:
IJSurfSE publishes refereed quality papers in the broad field of surface science and engineering including tribology, but with a special emphasis on the research and development in friction, wear, coatings and surface modification processes such as surface treatment, cladding, machining, polishing and grinding, across multiple scales from nanoscopic to macroscopic dimensions. High-integrity and high-performance surfaces of components have become a central research area in the professional community whose aim is to develop highly reliable ultra-precision devices.
