Solid lubricants are used to lubricate the mechanical equipment of various spacecraft and launch vehicles. Tungsten disulfide (WS2) is one of the solid lubricants that can be used in a variety of applications at elevated temperatures in outer space. In this study, WS2coatings on a metal disc were applied via the shot peening method using WS2powder (diameter of 2.0 μm). Friction experiments were carried out to investigate the friction characteristics of WS2using a pin-on-disc-type rotary tribometer at high temperature in a vacuum. The friction coefficients of the WS2shot peening coating were extremely low at room temperature and increased with the test temperature. Nevertheless, WS2coatings demonstrated superior frictional properties at elevated temperatures and thus they are applicable at 400 °C in vacuum. All WS2specimens showed a preferred orientation of the (0002) basal plane parallel to the disc surface. Atomic arrangements of the second nearest neighbor atoms were distorted from the original sites during the wear process. The room temperature friction tests of the shot peened WS2specimen, annealed at 400 °C, demonstrated that the friction coefficients of the specimen with a higher degree of planar alignment on the (0002) plane were larger than those of the specimens with planner imperfections. Lattice defects such as stacking faults and dislocations assisted in the sliding motions of the adjacent sulfur atoms on the (0002) plane by extremely low shear stress.Graphic Abstract
