Synergistic Mechanisms of Solid Lubricants

Abstract

Literature pertaining to synergistic enhancement of solid film lubricants by additions of non-lubricant phases is reviewed. Research directed toward identification of mechanisms by which Sb2O3 additives enhance MoS2 lubrication is described. Chemical, mechanical, and tribochemical reactions are investigated. Preliminary data indicates Sb2O3 alters the oxidation behavior of MoS2. An experimental test apparatus for solid lubricant evaluation is described.
