Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of space lubrication, and in particular to a WS-Ti-O lubricating film and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] In spacecraft used in space science and applications, lubricants are one of the core building blocks for ensuring the long life and highly reliable operation of mechanical moving parts. Due to the unique characteristics of the space environment (such as high vacuum, extreme temperature fluctuations, and strong radiation), traditional liquid lubricants are prone to volatility or failure. Therefore, solid lubricant films with low friction coefficients and high chemical stability have become a key technology in the field of space lubrication. Among them, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs, such as MoS2 and WS2), due to their layered structure and excellent vacuum lubrication properties, are widely used for surface lubrication and protection of key components such as satellite bearings and solar wing deployment mechanisms.

[0003] However, the performance degradation of lubricating films on spacecraft under space radiation environment (especially atomic oxygen erosion) is becoming increasingly prominent. In low Earth orbit (LEO, altitude 200-700 km), the flux of high-energy atomic oxygen (formed by the decomposition of oxygen molecules by solar ultraviolet radiation) is as high as 10 14 ~10 15 atoms / (cm²·s). Its strong oxidizing properties react with TMDs films, leading to oxidation and loss of surface sulfur and destruction of the layered structure, significantly reducing the film's lubricity and wear life. Studies have shown that exposure to atomic oxygen can cause the friction coefficient of MoS2 films to rise sharply from an initial value of 0.02-0.05 to over 0.2, significantly shortening their wear life.

[0004] Although attempts have been made to enhance the radiation resistance of TMDs films through metal doping (such as titanium and gold) and multilayer structural design, their resistance to atomic oxygen remains significantly insufficient. For example, while doping can partially inhibit oxidation reactions, it can compromise the film's intrinsic lubricity. Therefore, developing TMDs-based space lubricating films that combine excellent lubricity with high resistance to atomic oxygen corrosion has become a crucial requirement for overcoming the technical bottleneck of long-life aerospace equipment and ensuring the reliability of space missions in challenging space environments.
