Thermochemical synthesis of tribotechnical coatings based on molybdenum diselenide MoSe2 on structural steels

The study results of the influence of parameters of the process of chemical-thermal treatment in selenium vapor during the preparation of solid lubricating coatings from molybdenum diselenide on specimens of structural steels with a plasma Mo-coating are presented. An empirical mathematical model of the temperature-time parameters of the Mo selenization process is proposed, which makes possible to control the quality of the obtained coatings depending on requirements for their tribotechnical properties. An assessment of their tribotechnical characteristics in air and in vacuum in the temperature range 20—600 °С has been carried out.</jats:p
