Abstract
The wear and friction behavior of compressed compacts of molybdenum disulfide was examined during sliding in air against a 0.45 percent carbon steel disk. The contact pressure was 0.082 through 0.412 MPa, and the sliding speed was 0.03 through 5.00 m/s. The specific wear rate (wear volume per unit sliding distance/load) under various experimental conditions was found to be a simple function of a parameter fPV, corresponding to the frictional heat. It was noted with interest that the wear of molybdenum disulfide compacts decreased when sliding conditions were made more severe.
