The paper presents materials on forming a vibration mechanochemical solid lubricant coating based on molybdenum disulfide on the surface of a steel rope during its production. A model of the formation of the surface layer is formed. A unit for applying a solid lubricant coating to a steel rope was developed and designed.
The paper studies the thickness of the vibrational mechanochemical solid-lubricant coating of molybdenum disulfide which is widely used in transport and technological systems.
The purpose of the investigations carried out is the formation of qualitative nanostructured coatings and development of methods for their application on product surfaces. The principle of a staged study of regularities in the formation of vibration mechanical-chemical coatings from “top to bottom” and “bottom-up” formed a basis of a methodological approach to investigation carrying out. Experimental researches were carried out with the use of specially developed working chambers installed upon vibration machines. As an indenter there were used metal balls 2-5 mm in diameter and made of steel of ShH15 type, samples material – steel 45. The assessment of coating characteristics was carried out with the use of optical, raster scanning probe microscopy. It is determined through the result in the investigations of the impact-pulse interaction of a working environment part under conditions of vibration impact that there are grindings and changes in particles dimensions up to 100 nm and lesser in coating material which allows them to penetrate into micro-and nanocavities of basic metal and, in such a way, to form coating with high antifriction properties. The influence of amplitude-frequency properties of vibro-wave activation upon quality and performance attributes of coating surfaces and also process duration is determined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
