【Know Molybdenum】Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2) Coating: Effects & Properties

Advantages of molybdenum disulfide(MoS2)

Having properties of good wear resistance, load carrying capacity and lubrication in medium and high temperature environments, MoS2 also plays a role in surface protection, corrosion protection, sealing, lubrication and prolonging the service life of parts.

Effects of molybdenum disulfide coating

MoS2 coating is thermally cured and thoroughly bonded to the base metal of the coated part. Moly coatings lubricate sacrificially by transferring lubricant between the two mating surfaces, which helps to reduce wear and coefficient of friction.

Properties of MoS2 coating

1. Low coefficient of friction to help reduce the frictional torque.

2. Wide range of applicable temperatures, loads and speeds.

3. Used in applications where load carrying capacity, operating pressure and coefficient of friction are primary concerns.

4. Offering long-lasting lubrication even after the coated products are not used for a long time. 

5. Exceptional resistance to corrosion, excellent rust prevention without the need of any surface treatments and is great help in noise reduction. 

6. Solving the friction surface that is difficult to lubricate by general lubricants or the working environment is harsh.
