Abstract
Behavior under friction of molybdenum disulphide adhering without any binder as a thin film on various metals and glass was studied. Molybdenum disulphide film of up to about 1-micron thickness was formed by burnishing with sponge or by friction with metal. The friction and the life of the film were examined under various temperatures and atmospheric pressures.
The endurance life is very affected by these factors. The micronization of the crystals was also observed and found to be affected by such factors. In vacuum the crystals are not micronized so severely as in air. The kind of the substrate material also has a marked influence on the life. The life of the film is longest with the pair of specimens made of f.c.c. noble metal.
