Abstract The structure of MoS2 and other layer lattice materials is discussed in relation to their effectiveness as lubricants and the mechanism of their lubricating actions. The mechanism of the lubricating action of MoS2 was studied and compared with that of other materials by scanning electron microscopical investigation of specimens tested in the LFW-1, Almen-Wieland and a deep drawing machine. The lubricating properties of MoS2 have been explained by the strong polarization of the sulfur atoms which produce a layer structure, good adhesion to metal surfaces, adhesion between MoS2 basal planes, easy sliding of MoS2 lamellae and the formation of a homogeneous continuous film. It is now shown that the load carrying part of the MoS2 film lies only on the asperities of the metal surface.

二硫化钼润滑机理研究

摘要 讨论了 MoS2 和其他层状晶格材料的结构及其作为润滑剂的有效性及其润滑作用的机制。通过对在 LFW-1、Almen-Wieland 和深拉机上测试的样品进行扫描电子显微镜研究，研究了 MoS2 的润滑作用机理并与其他材料的润滑作用机理进行了比较。MoS2 的润滑性能可以通过硫原子的强极化来解释，硫原子产生层状结构、与金属表面的良好附着力、MoS2 基面之间的附着力、MoS2 薄片的容易滑动和均匀连续膜的形成。现在表明，MoS2 薄膜的承载部分仅位于金属表面的凹凸不平处。
