The effects of solid lubricants on wear and friction characteristics of friction materials were studied using a pad-on-disk type friction tester. Friction materials with four different formulations containing different relative amounts of solid lubricants(graphite, MoS$_2$, and Sb$_2$S$_3$) were investigated. Results of this work showed that each formulation with different lubricants had unique friction characteristics. Friction material containing rich MoS$_2$ showed excellent friction stability at different friction conditions. However friction material containing rich Sb$_2$S$_3$revealed high wear of friction materials.

In this paper, the effects of the film tinckness, pre-treatment and testing load on. the tribological characteristics have been studied. During the "Ring on-Disk" testing period silica-gel was used to remove the effect of humidity. As a result, increasing the film thickness revealed prolonged wear life, in the case or reasl the testing loads the dynamic friction coefficient was decreased gradually but in regarding the wear life, an intermideate contact pressure (4kgf/mm${2}$) revealed the maximum value. In regarding the surface protuberance friction an intermediate value of area fraction (60%) revealed maximum wear life. In this paper, the qualitative model in regarding the variation of the friction coefficient andworn depth was presented.presented.

보호피막을 입히는 방법으로는 화학증착법과 물리증착법이 주로 사용되고 있다. 고온 분위기에서 기체 상태인 반응물의 화학반응을 통하여 원하는 물질을 증착시키는 화학증착법은 물리증착법에 비해 점착성(adhesion)이 우수하고, 보호피막층의 성분조절이 용이하며, 반응물이 기체상태이므로 대량생산이 용이하여 보호피막 증착법으로 많이 사용되고 있다. $Si_3N_4$-TiC ceramic 표면에 TiC, TiN 및 Ti(C, N) coating을 함으로써 얻을 수 잇는 장점들은 표면층의 경도를 증가시키며, steel과의 마찰계수의 감소 및 coating 층 자체가 고온에서 고체 윤활제로 작용하여 마찰열의 상당한 감소를 얻을 수 있으며, 또한 coating층 자체가 비교적 안정한 화합물로 피삭재내의 성분원소들에 대한 diffusion barrier로 작용되며, 내식성을 증가시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 각 증착층의 미소경도, 열충격저항, steel과의 마찰계수를 측정하였으며, 최종적으로 절삭시험을 통하여 증착층들의 내마모성을 조사, 규명하였다.

The processing conditions for the synthesis of platelet WS$_2$ lubricant powder through the solid-gas reaction were optimized. The tungsten and sulfur powders were sealed in a vacuum of 10$^{-6}$ torr, prior to heat-treating at 850$\circ$C for 8 days. The react~on product showed the well-developed platelet WS$_2$ powder with an average size of 3.8 $\mu$m. The synthesized WS$_2$ powder was coated on the commercial deep grooved ball bearing (No. 6203) to examine the effects of WS$_2$ coating layer on the noise and endurance of the ball bearing. The level of noise obtained from WS$_2$ coated-ball bearing was higher (56 dB) than the value occurred in the case of greece (37 dB). The life-time of the ball-bearing assembled after coating WS$_2$ powder increased 50 times compared to the non-coated bali-bearing.

In this work, friction materials with three different formulations containing different amounts of the solid lubricants were investigated to study the role of lubricants on the friction performance. The three friction materials contained graphite 10 vol. %, graphite 7 vol. % + MoS$_2$ 3 vol.%, and graphite 7 vol. % + $Sb_2S_3$ 3 vol. %, respectively, with the same amount of other ingredients. Results of this work showed that each formulation with different lubricants had unique advantages and disadvantages. The friction materials containing graphite 7 vol. % + MoS$_2$ 3 vol. % and graphite 7 % + $Sb_2S_3$ 3 vol. % showed better resistance to fading and improved friction stability compare to the friction materials containing graphite only as a lubricant. However, the friction materials with two lubricants (graphite + MoS$_2$ or $Sb_2S_3$) showed disadvantages on stick-slip phenomena, amplitude of torque, and rotor wear.

TiN 코팅은 마모에 대한 저항성 및 고체 윤활 효과가 매우 우수하여 내마모성 및 저마찰이 요구되는 절삭공구나 피스톤 베어링 및 각종 축계의 코팅막으로 사용이 증가되고 있다. 일반적으로 재료의 경도와 인성은 서로 상반 관계를 갖고 있어 공학적으로 경도와 인성을 모두 요구하는 표면을 얻기 위해 연질 모재 위의 세라믹 코팅은 그 요구를 만족시킬 수 있는 가장 각광받는 표면처리 방법중의 하나이다. 그러나, TiN과 같은 경질 박막의 공학적 적용시 가장 요구되는 마모수명은 모재의 조도나 경도, 증착 방법, 접촉 상태, 코팅막의 두께 및 마모의 발생 기구 등에 따라 마찰 및 마모 메커니즘의 현저한 차이를 나타내기 때문에 예측이 거의 불가능한 실정이고, 아직까지 이러한 마모수명 비교 평가방법에 대한 기준 설정 및 정량적 정립이 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 모재의 경도, 조도, 코팅 두께가 다른 TiN 경질 박막에 압입시험과 스크래치시험시 발생되는 균열 발생 메커니즘과 미끄럼 시험시 발생되는 마모 메커니즘의 연계성을 밝히고 압입 및 스크래치 시험시 코팅막이 손상되는 임계하중과 미끄럼 시험시 접촉하중 변화에 따른 마모수명의 정량적 연관성을 찾아보고자 한다.

The processing conditions for the mass production of platelet WS$_2$ lubricant powder were optimized. The mixture of tungsten and sulfur powders was sealed in a vacuum of 10$^{-3}$ torr and heat-treated at 850$\circ$C for 2 h. The internal pressure of reaction chamber was maintained at certain level by controlling the release valve automatically. The reaction product was the platelet WS$_2$ powder with an average size of 15 $\mu$m. The synthesized WS$_2$ powder was then coated on the wiper-blade of automobiles and the commercial deep-grooved ball bearing using wet and dry coating methods, respectively. High lubricity and wear resistance of wet coated wiper-blade were confirmed by the life test of 70,000 cycles. The life-time of the ball bearing assembled after WS$_2$ coating onto each part increased 50 times compared to the non-coated ball bearing.

The tribological behaviour of WS$_2$ solid lubricant was investigated using a ball-on-disk type tester. The WS$_2$ powder was spray-coated at room temperature and the effects of specimen configuration, atmosphere, applied load and rotating spccd on the friction coefficient was examined. WS$_2$ coated ball and disk showed the lowest friction coefficient of 0.05 in the nitrogen atmosphere under 0.3 kgf and 100 rpm, whereas relatively high coefficient of 0.1 - 0.15 was observed in air atmosphere. This confirmed that the spray-coated WS$_2$ solid lubricant was effective in reducing the friction coefficient and improving wear life in nitrogen atmosphere.

The tungsten disulfide (WS$_2$) solid lubricant was synthesized by two different reaction processes, and the chemical and physical characteristics of synthesized WS$_2$ powder were analyzed in terms of the average particle size, morphology, crystalline phase. The solid WO$_3$ powder with the average size of 0.2 $\mu$m was reacted with CS$_2$ gas flowed with N$_2$ or 96% N$_2$ + 4% H$_2$ forming gas for 36 h and 24 h at 900$\circ$C respectively. In the case of vapour phase transport method, the 3.5 wt% iodine was added as a vapour transport reagent into the composition of tungsten and sulfur powders maintaining a constant molar ratio of W : S = 1 : 2.2. The mixture was then heat treated at 850$\circ$C for 2 weeks in vacuum The reaction product obtained showed the average size of 12 $\mu$m and the hexagonal plate shape of typical solid lubricant with 2H-WS$_2$ crystalline phase.

Many research works for improving a boundary lubrication performance have been executed by using solid lubricants, and been tried to apply an engine lubrication. However those general lubricants like MoS$_2$ or PTFE have not been applied on engines due to the extreme conditions such as very high temperature and pressure by combustion process in a cylinder. A copper nickel alloy fine particle has been introduced and studied. In this Paper the lubricant using the alloy Particles is applied on a marine diesel engine and assessed by the engine performance test The results showed the increase of cylinder pressure related strongly to the engine efficiency as well as the improving the engine lubrication performance.
