Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of surface protection, in particular to a molybdenum disulfide / molybdenum diboride nanocomposite multilayer film and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) film has been widely used in aerospace, nuclear power, mechanical and electronic fields as a solid lubricant due to its unique structural characteristics and easy interlayer sliding. However, MoS2 is extremely sensitive to the environment and is easily oxidized in the atmosphere and at high temperatures, which leads to the decline of its tribological properties and the significant reduction of its service life. Spacecraft and satellite mechanical movement devices inevitably experience complex and harsh environmental conditions such as high humidity and high-low temperature alternation during transportation, storage and launching, which puts higher requirements on the reliability and stability of MoS2 film. In addition, the hardness of MoS2 film is relatively low, and it is prone to peeling and early failure under high-speed and heavy-load conditions. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new MoS2-based nanometer lubricating film which integrates strength, toughness, corrosion resistance and low friction in a wide temperature range to ensure the long-life reliable service of key transmission components of high-tech equipment.

[0003] In recent years, borides have attracted much attention due to their high hardness, high melting point, high electrical conductivity and high thermal stability. Molybdenum diboride (WB2) has good high-temperature oxidation resistance and wear resistance, and as a doped phase, it can significantly improve the hardness and load capacity of MoS2 film, and improve the friction and wear properties of MoS2 film at high temperatures. The construction of the hetero-interface helps MoS2 grow along the (002) crystal plane parallel to the substrate to form a nanocomposite multilayer structure film with MoS2(002) / molybdenum diboride alternately grown, realizing the environmental self-adaptation and high-temperature low-friction wear of MoS2-based film. Chinese invention patent CN111621745A discloses a molybdenum disulfide / molybdenum disulfide multilayer tantalum-doped film and a preparation method and application thereof. In the method, a titanium transition layer, a titanium / tantalum / molybdenum disulfide / molybdenum disulfide multilayer gradient transition layer and a molybdenum disulfide / molybdenum disulfide multilayer tantalum-doped layer are sequentially deposited on the surface of the substrate by using a magnetron sputtering technology to obtain the molybdenum disulfide / molybdenum disulfide multilayer tantalum-doped film. The film is prepared by using the magnetron sputtering technology, and tantalum is doped in the molybdenum disulfide / molybdenum disulfide multilayer film to improve the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the film. However, the main body material of the film prepared by using the magnetron sputtering technology is MoS2 and WS2, and the mechanical properties of the film are relatively weak. In particular, the film prepared by using the patent needs to use expensive tantalum, which greatly increases the cost of raw materials.

[0004] Therefore, based on the problems of the prior art, the prepared molybdenum disulfide / tungsten diboride nanocomposite multilayer film does not need to be doped with noble metals, on the one hand, the raw material cost can be greatly reduced, on the other hand, by using the non-equilibrium magnetron sputtering technology, the nanometer gradient transition layer and the nanometer composite alternating multilayer are formed, the mutual diffusion and fusion between the interfaces are realized, the bonding force of the interfaces is enhanced, the mechanical properties and the tribological properties of the film are improved, the high-temperature friction performance is significantly improved, the raw material price is suitable, and the production cost is greatly reduced.

[0024] In order to further illustrate the technical effects of the molybdenum disulfide / tungsten diboride nanocomposite multilayer film prepared by the above technical solution, the following will make a detailed comparison with the prior art:

The hardness of the best embodiment is only 7.4 GPa, and the hardness / elasticity ratio is 0.083; the high-temperature wear rate is in the order of 10 -6 mm 3 / N·m; compared with the prior art, the non-equilibrium magnetron sputtering technology used in the application can improve the mechanical properties of the film, especially the high-temperature wear rate is in the order of 10 -7 mm 3 / N·m, which is reduced by one order of magnitude.

[0028] (1) The molybdenum disulfide / tungsten disulfide nano-composite multilayer thin film provided by the technical scheme of the present application has good film-to-substrate bonding strength, high hardness and high hardness / elasticity ratio due to the design of the doped tungsten disulfide hard ceramic phase and the gradient transition layer.

Therefore, the molybdenum disulfide / tungsten disulfide nano-composite multilayer thin film can meet the long-life reliable service of aerospace vehicles and nuclear power bearings under harsh environments.

[0030] (3) Compared with the preparation method of the prior art, the technical scheme of the present application does not need to dope noble metals such as tantalum, reduces the cost, and has the advantages of simple operation and easy control, and is very suitable for popularization and promotion of industrial production.

A contact-type step meter was used to measure the wear volume, and the wear rate was obtained by dividing the wear volume by the load and the total sliding distance. The test results of the atmospheric room temperature friction coefficient and the wear rate of the film are shown in Figure 6

[0178] Comparative Example 1

[0179] In this comparative example, the substrate materials are 316 stainless steel and single crystal silicon wafers. Among them, after the deposition of the molybdenum disulfide / tungsten diboride nanocomposite multilayer film on the 316 stainless steel substrate material, the film can be used for service performance detection, including related mechanical properties, atmospheric room temperature friction performance test, etc.; after the deposition of the molybdenum disulfide / tungsten diboride nanocomposite multilayer film on the single crystal silicon wafer substrate material, the film can be used for testing the thickness, structure, etc. of the film.

[0180] A pure molybdenum disulfide film was prepared on the surface of the substrate by using a non-equilibrium magnetron sputtering technique, mainly including the following steps:

[0181] The surface of the substrate was mechanically polished, the substrate material was placed in an acetone solution for ultrasonic cleaning for 15 minutes, and then dried with nitrogen; then placed in an anhydrous ethanol solution for ultrasonic cleaning for 15 minutes, and then dried with nitrogen.

[0182] ​The substrate after cleaning treatment was placed in a non-equilibrium magnetron sputtering chamber, vacuumed to a vacuum degree lower than 3x10 -3 Pa, high-purity argon gas was filled into the chamber, and the target material 30 was sputtered and cleaned by argon plasma for 30 min, and the substrate temperature was about 100-120°C. By using a non-equilibrium magnetron sputtering technology, a pure MoS2 film was prepared by controlling Ti target material (purity 99.99at.%) and MoS2 target material (purity 99.9at.%), and the sample holder rotation speed was set to 5 revolutions per minute. The specific steps are as follows:

[0183] (1) Substrate surface treatment: a bias voltage of -450V was applied to the substrate, and the substrate temperature was about 100°C. The substrate surface oxide was removed by plasma etching for 30 min.

[0184] (2) Ti transition layer deposition: Ti target current was 3.0A, substrate bias was -70V, working gas was argon, gas flow was 16sccm, substrate deposition temperature was 80°C, pressure was about 0.2Pa, and deposition time was 1200s. A Ti transition layer with a thickness of about 200nm was deposited on the substrate surface.

[0185] (3) Ti / MoS2 gradient transition layer: Ti target current was gradually reduced to 0A, while MoS2 target current was gradually increased to 1.6A, working gas was Ar, gas flow was 16sccm, substrate bias was -50V, substrate deposition temperature was about 100°C, pressure was about 0.2Pa, and deposition time was 1200s. A Ti / MoS2 transition layer with a thickness of about 200nm was deposited on the Ti transition layer surface.

[0186] (4) Pure MoS2 layer: MoS2 target current was kept at 1.6A, and the rest of the deposition parameters were unchanged. The thickness of the pure MoS2 film was controlled to be about 2.5μm by adjusting the deposition time.

[0187] The pure MoS2 film obtained by the above deposition was tested as follows:

[0188] (1) Structure test:

[0189] Referring to Figure 1 The XRD test results of the pure MoS2 film prepared in this comparative example showed that the MoS2(002) orientation of the pure MoS2 film did not grow obviously.

[0190] (2) Mechanical property test:

[0191] The hardness and elastic modulus of the film were measured by MTS NanoIndenter G200 nanoindentation system. The indentation depth of the diamond indenter was 1 / 10 of the film thickness, and the average value of six points was measured. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0192] (3) Friction and wear performance test:

[0193] The thin films were analyzed for tribological properties using an Anton Paar multi-functional friction tester, with atmospheric humidity of 50±5% RH and a test temperature of 25±3°C. A GCr15 steel ball was used as the friction pair, with a reciprocating sliding mode, a frequency of 5 Hz, a sliding step of 5 mm, a running time of 1 h, and a normal load of 5 N. Meanwhile, the thin films were analyzed for high-temperature tribological properties using an Anton Paar multi-functional high-temperature friction tester, with a test temperature of 100°C, 200°C, or 300°C, a GCr15 steel ball used as the friction pair, a cyclic rotation mode, a linear velocity of 12.56 cm / s, a rotation radius of 4 mm, a running time of 1 h, and a normal load of 5 N. A contact-type step meter was used to measure the wear volume, and the wear volume was divided by the load and the total sliding distance to obtain the wear rate. The results of the test of the friction coefficient and the wear rate of the thin films in an atmospheric room-temperature environment are shown in Figure 6 The results of the test of the friction coefficient and the wear rate of the thin films in an atmospheric high-temperature environment are shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11

[0194] As can be seen from Table 1, the deposited thin films are mainly MoS2, meeting the functional requirements of lubricating thin films; the WB2 interlayer as a bearing layer can improve the hardness and the hardness / elasticity ratio of the thin films, which is conducive to obtaining excellent tribological properties.

[0195] The hardness and the elastic modulus of the six thin film samples in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 1 were measured by using the MTS NanoIndenter G200 nanoindentation instrument system to press six points on the surface of each sample to a depth of 200 nm. The results are shown in Table 1. As can be seen from Table 1, the hardness of the molybdenum disulfide / tungsten diboride nanocomposite multilayer thin films is greater than that of the pure molybdenum disulfide thin film.

The MoS2 / WB2 nanocomposite multilayer film with the WB2 target current of 1.0A in the embodiment 4 has relatively stable friction performance at 100℃, 200℃ and 300℃.
