Study on the application of POLYSILOSANE-MoS2 for solid lubricant for roller bearing on the steering machine of 3M-24E rocket
Keywords:
Friction, Solid lubrication, MoS2, 3M-24E missileAbstract
In this study, polysiloxane-MoS2 composite has been mixed by mechanical grinding method. As-prepared composite materials were characterized by SEM, and TGA techniques. The effectiveness of MoS2-based solid lubricants were experimentally assessed. This research correlated the evolution of coefficient of tribology to in-depth wear surface morphology and structure. The lubricating potential of these solid lubricants to reduce wear and thereby extend the operation life of rail components was comprehensively evaluated. The polysiloxane-MoS2based lubricant was able to reduce the coefficient of tribology and improve the wear resistance considerably.
