Abstract

AbstractTo improve the tribological characteristics of dimples on the surface of 45 steel, the dimples were filled with MoS2 and MoS2 modified by dopamine (MoS2 @ DA), and ball‐disk friction and wear tests were conducted. Specifically, the dimple filling gap, abrasion depth, and surface cross‐sectional area of 45 steel were measured. The wear morphology of the friction ball and exfoliation of MoS2 in the dimples and the bending characteristics of the specimens were studied. The surface friction coefficient of MoS2 @ DA‐filled specimen was 17.9% lower than MoS2‐filled specimen, and the dimple filling gap was 70.1% lower, the surface abrasion depth was 5.8% lower, and the abrasion cross‐sectional area was 17.7% smaller. Moreover, the bending strength of the MoS2 @ DA specimen was 3.27 times greater than that of the MoS2 specimen, and the exfoliation of MoS2 was slowed by filling with the MoS2 @ DA. Finally, the tribological characteristics were also superior for the specimens prepared with MoS2 @ DA.
