AI Technical Summary
Existing sputtered molybdenum disulfide films are prone to failure in the low-orbit space radiation environment, resulting in an increase in friction coefficient, a decrease in toughness and a shortened wear life, which cannot meet the long-term service requirements of precision sliding components in space.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of aerospace material solid lubricant material, and particularly relates to a low-orbit space radiation resistant self-adaptive molybdenum disulfide-based multilayer composite film and a preparation method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Large low-orbit constellation is a space system that has appeared in the last 10 years and gradually matured, and is composed of hundreds to tens of thousands of satellites running in space 300 km to 2000 km away from the ground.
[0003] Solid lubricant film is the key to guarantee the long-term reliable service of the moving parts of satellite structures in low-orbit environment. At present, there are various types of solid lubricants applied to satellite moving parts, among which sputtered MoS2 has a lamellar structure and has a very low friction coefficient in vacuum, and is the most widely used and most successful lubricating material for space precision sliding moving parts.
[0004] The main reason for the failure of sputtered molybdenum disulfide film in space environment is directly related to space radiation environment. Space radiation mainly includes space ultraviolet radiation, atomic oxygen erosion, high-energy particle radiation (electrons, protons), etc. With the continuous development of space exploration activities, in order to meet the long-term service requirements of space vehicles in low-orbit space, sputtered molybdenum disulfide film must meet the ability of low-orbit space radiation resistance. Research shows that a large number of vacancies in the MoS2 film agglomerate to form large-size cavities during irradiation, and the film is severely amorphized after irradiation damage greater than 5dpa. Irradiation hardening leads to a decrease in film toughness, and at the same time, the irregular transfer of disordered structure at the friction interface is worse than that of unirradiated samples, which leads to the rapid push-out of ordered transfer film from the contact surface during friction, and the wear resistance life is rapidly decreased by 1-2 orders of magnitude.
[0005] Therefore, improving the space radiation resistance of sputtered molybdenum disulfide film in low-orbit is the key to realize the application of this material system in low-orbit satellites.
[0006] CN 115323326 A discloses a long-life molybdenum disulfide-based composite film resistant to space atomic oxygen irradiation and its preparation method and application, belonging to the technical field of solid lubrication. The Ti layer can increase the bonding strength between the molybdenum disulfide-based composite film and the substrate. The Ti content in the MoS2-LaF3-Ti layer on the surface of the Ti layer is 6-10 at%, and the LaF3 content is 2-4 at%. Ti and LaF3 exist in the form of solid solution, greatly reducing the sensitivity of MoS2 to atomic oxygen, significantly improving the atomic oxygen irradiation resistance and wear life of the composite film, reducing the friction coefficient, and effectively solving the problem of rapid decline in wear life of the molybdenum disulfide film under the erosion of high-dose space atomic oxygen. However, the thickness of the MoS2-LaF3-Ti composite film in this technology is between 2-5 μm, which cannot meet the demand for sputtering molybdenum disulfide film with a thickness of 1 μm on space precision bearings, harmonic parts, etc. According to the adhesive wear characteristics of molybdenum disulfide, the film thickness is highly related to the film lubrication life. In addition, the MoS2-LaF3-Ti film in this invention is different from the composition in this invention. CN202311541172 discloses a wear-resistant molybdenum disulfide-based composite film and its preparation method. A molybdenum disulfide-based solid lubrication film is deposited on the surface of a 316L stainless steel substrate using a composite magnetron sputtering technology. By controlling the Ti content in the MoS2-Ti functional layer, Ti exists in the form of solid solution, greatly reducing the sensitivity of MoS2 to the environment and the friction coefficient without destroying the layered structure and lubrication properties of the MoS2 film, and significantly improving the wear life of the MoS2 composite film. The composite film includes a Ti metal ion implantation layer, a Ti metal transition layer, and a MoS2-Ti functional layer from the surface of the substrate outward. Patent CN20161103338 discloses a molybdenum disulfide-lead titanium alloy nanometer multilayer film and its preparation method. The film includes a Ti transition layer, a gradient transition layer of Ti and molybdenum disulfide, an alternating multilayer formed by alternating stacking of molybdenum disulfide and lead titanium alloy, and a molybdenum disulfide surface layer. The film has a larger dry friction coefficient in a vacuum environment, stably maintaining at 0.02-0.06. CN202010497699 discloses a preparation method for a sub-10-nanometer-level biomimetic structure molybdenum disulfide-carbon multilayer film. A high-power pulsed unbalanced magnetron sputtering method is used to prepare a molybdenum disulfide layer on a treated substrate part, and a high-pressure plasma immersion ion implantation technology is used to inject CH4 plasma with a purity of more than 99.99% into the molybdenum disulfide layer to form a carbon layer. The cycle is repeated for 40-80 cycles, and the thickness of each layer is controlled to be less than 10 nm. This scheme adopts a nanometer multilayer structure, which is not only complex in process, but also does not give specific limitations on core issues such as sublayer interface bonding. It can be predicted that the reproducibility is poor. SUMMARY
[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the present application aims to provide a low-orbit space radiation resistant self-adaptive molybdenum disulfide-based multilayer composite film and a preparation method.
[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned application purposes, the present application provides the following technical solutions:
[0009] The present application provides a low-orbit space radiation resistant self-adaptive molybdenum disulfide-based multilayer composite film, which comprises, in order from the base body, a deposited Ti bonding layer, a MoS2-Ti gradient transition layer, a MoS2-Ti functional layer, a MoS2-Ti-C transition layer, and a MoS2-C functional layer. The friction coefficient of the composite film of the deposited Ti bonding layer+MoS2-Ti gradient transition layer+MoS2-Ti functional layer+MoS2-Ti-C transition layer+MoS2-C functional layer is between 0.016 and 0.18, and is less than 0.2. The mechanism is that a heterojunction structure is formed between carbon and molybdenum disulfide during friction, thereby reducing the friction coefficient. Under the film layer structure, as the friction time increases, the lubricating film layer is worn and deepened, and the carbon adhered to the surface of the counterpart still forms a heterojunction structure with the underlying molybdenum disulfide at the friction interface, thereby always exhibiting a low friction coefficient. The MoS2-Ti gradient transition layer in the multilayer composite film of the present application is arranged on one side to reduce the thermal expansion coefficient between the metal and the molybdenum disulfide, and on the other side to enhance the hardness and toughness of the molybdenum disulfide film. If the MoS2-Ti gradient transition layer (Ti content: 0-40 at%) is replaced by a Ti metal transition layer (Ti content: 100 at%), the film base bonding force will be poor and the wear life will be short. If the multilayer composite film is arranged as a deposited Ti bonding layer+MoS2-Ti gradient transition layer+MoS2-Ti functional layer, the purpose of the present application cannot be achieved, and the friction coefficient of this structure is close to 0.2 and is greater than 0.2. If the film structure is designed as a deposited Ti bonding layer+MoS2-Ti-C transition layer+MoS2-C functional layer, the purpose of the present application still cannot be achieved, and the main performance is poor friction and wear life. For example, in Example 1 of the present application, the friction and wear life of the deposited Ti bonding layer+MoS2-Ti gradient transition layer+MoS2-Ti functional layer+MoS2-Ti-C transition layer+MoS2-C functional layer is 3.1x10 5 revolutions, while the friction and wear life of the deposited Ti bonding layer+MoS2-Ti-C transition layer+MoS2-C functional layer is 6x10 4 revolutions.
