Physical and mechan- ical properties of the samples were examined. The effects of graphite and MoSs contents on friction coefficient and wear rate were investigated by a ring-on-disc wear machine in air and vacuum conditions, respectively. Tribo-films formed on the worn surfaces were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photo- electron spectroscopy (XPS). The results indicated that density, hardness and bending strength all increased with the increasing content of MoS2, while the relative density was opposite. Sample B containing 15 vol. pct graphite and 15 vol. pct MoS2 pos- sessed superior tribological properties both in air and vacuum conditions. However, the tribo-films formed on the worn surfaces of the sample B were greatly discrepant in composition at different testing conditions. In air, the volume ratio of MoS2 and graphite in the tribo-films is 0.31:1 whereas the ratio in vacuum is 1.07:1.展开更多
