TL;DR: In this article, the WS 2 -MoS 2 nanocomposite films were sputtered, based on which solid/liquid-lubrication systems were realized by combining WS 2-MoS2 films with space oils including MACs (multialkylated cyclopentanes) and CPSO (chlorinated-phenyl with methylterminated silicone oil).

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of Ni content on the microstructure, anti-oxidation capability, mechanical and tribological properties of composite films were studied by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), XPS, Raman spectrography, grazing incidence Xray diffraction (GIXRD), high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), nano-indentation tester, scratch tester and ball-on-disk tribometer.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the tribological properties and wear mechanisms of TiN films deposited by arc ion plating (AIP) against Si3N4, Al2O3 and steel balls under different loads and speeds.

TL;DR: In this article, the WS2-Ag composite films were prepared by radio frequency co-sputtering method and the effects of alloying Ag content on composition, microstructure, mechanical properties and friction behaviors have been analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), grazing incidence Xray diffraction (GIXRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive Xray spectrograms (EDS), high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), scratch tester, nano-indentation tester and ball

TL;DR: In this article, the anti-oxidation mechanism of WS2 films and Al doped WS2 composite films were studied using radio frequency sputtering and the atomic oxygen (AO) irradiation tests were conducted using a ground AO simulation facility.
