Physical sputtering deposition of molybdenum disulfide films as solid lubricant on rotating and sliding components, discussing lubrication properties in vacuum
Molybdenum disulfide lubricant film is deposited on two substrates, niobium and nickel-chromium alloys, by means of physical direct-current sputtering. The sputtering system uses a three-electrode /triode/ geometry - a thermionic cathode, an anode, and the target, all enclosed in a vacuum chamber.
Sputtered molybdenum disulfide film deposition and friction characteristics in vacuum
Strength and durability in friction tests of soft, vacuum deposited, thin-metal gold film lubricants, noting dependence on film-substrate interface
Ion plating deposits thin film on complex surface in one operation. The ionized materials follow electric lines of force to all points on the objects, uniformly plating the surface from all sides simultaneously.
Vacuum deposition methods for placing soft, thin metal gold film on metal surfaces for lubrication purposes - vapor deposition, sputtering, and ion plating
Ion plating method for thin gold film deposition on complex surface configurations
Vapor deposited gold thin films to obtain adhesion and durability between film and substrate essential as lubricants in high vacuum
Vapor-deposited thin gold films as lubricant in vacuum
Gold thin films of 1800 angstroms to be used as lubricants were vapor-deposited on Ni, Ni-Cr and Ni-Re substrates in vacuum
Vacuum deposition of gold thin films on nickel, nickel-chromium, and nickel-rhenium substrates for use as lubricants
