IMPROVED HIGH-TEMPERATURE SOLID FILM LUBRICANTS.
Abstract
Solid lubricant development has been undertaken in four areas: (1) plasma spraying, (2) hot-press compaction, (3) electrophoretic deposition, and (4) ceramic bonding. In addition, a special wettability study is being conducted. The plasma torch was used to apply two metal fluoride films which exhibit good friction and wear properties when evaluated on a rub-shoe machine in air and vacuum at 1000 F. Films were applied with two different electrode configurations and their friction and wear properties were determined under light and moderate loads. In addition, application studies were conducted to improve the control in composition of deposited films. Hot-press compacts were fabricated. Friction and wear characteristics and several physical properties were determined for the compacts.
