Abstract
The results of a comparative study of the friction and wear of MoSx and MoSex thin film coatings that was carried out in an oxidizing medium (a mixture of argon and air) at a temperature of -100°C are presented. The films were obtained by pulsed laser deposition from MoS2, MoSe2, and Mo targets in vacuum and H2S. It was established that Se-containing coatings significantly exceeded the S-containing coatings in terms of wear resistance and provided a friction coefficient of ~ 0.09. The properties of MoSx films depended on the S concentration, which determines the local packing of atoms in the amorphous structure of the film. The coefficient of friction for MoS3 films after running-in turned out to be half as much as that for MoS2 films, and its value was 0.08.
