Under harsh working conditions such as high speed and heavy load, the surface of traditional bearing steel is prone to wear, fatigue spalling and other problems. The existing surface modification technologies mainly include chemical heat treatment, physical vapor deposition coating, etc. For example, patent technology document CN119506773A discloses a kind of oil-free bearing surface wear-resistant self-lubricating hydrogen-free carbon-based coating and its preparation method, which includes a binding force layer, a wear-resistant self-lubricating coating and a surface C layer, reduces the friction between the various parts of the oil-free bearing, prolongs the service life of the oil-free bearing; improve the bonding strength between the surface C layer and the wear-resistant self-lubricating coating, and improve the service life of the coating.

In terms of mechanical properties, the coating has high hardness and good fracture toughness; the bonding strength test results show that the coating has a firm bonding strength with the substrate; in terms of tribological performance, the coating exhibits extremely low friction coefficient, which is mainly due to the unique "sandwich" structure design of the composite powder. The molybdenum disulfide nanoparticles as the core provide the basic lubrication performance, the intermediate graphene layer realizes efficient interlayer slip, and the outermost porous molybdenum disulfide coating structure ensures good interface bonding with other components. This sandwich structure, in the friction process, the outer porous molybdenum disulfide first undergoes shear deformation, exposing the intermediate graphene lubricating layer, while the internal molybdenum disulfide core serves as a reserve lubricating phase for continuous supply, so that the coating has good toughness and friction reduction performance while maintaining high hardness, meeting the requirements of the surface of bearing steel for integrated strength and toughness.
[0033] From the comparative data of examples 1 and comparative example 1, it can be seen that the coating prepared by using the composite target exhibits significantly superior comprehensive performance, which is mainly due to the unique "sandwich" structure formed by the molybdenum disulfide-graphene core-shell structure in the composite target and the porous molybdenum disulfide peripheral coating. In the process of magnetron sputtering, this composite structure is maintained and uniformly distributed in the coating. The inner core of molybdenum disulfide provides basic lubrication performance, the intermediate graphene layer realizes efficient interlayer slip through its two-dimensional planar structure, and the outer porous molybdenum disulfide ensures good interface bonding with other components.
[0034] From the performance comparison of example 2 and comparative example 2, it can be seen that the introduction of carbon nanotubes in the composite powder and the synergistic effect of the core-shell structure significantly improve the comprehensive performance of the coating. On the one hand, the carbon nanotubes form a three-dimensional network structure in the composite material, which simultaneously improves the mechanical properties through load transfer and crack bridging; at the same time, the π-π stacking interaction between carbon nanotubes and graphene enhances the interface bonding strength of the lubricating phase; on the other hand, the carbon nanotubes penetrate the porous structure formed by the outer porous molybdenum disulfide, which not only improves the load bearing capacity of the coating, but also provides storage space for the lubricant. Most importantly, the outer porous structure first participates in the contact, and then gradually releases the internal lubricant, realizing long-term and continuous release of the internal lubricant, thereby achieving a balance between excellent tribological performance and mechanical properties.
[0035] From the performance comparison of Example 2 and Comparative Examples 3, 4, it can be seen that the unique "sandwich" structure design of the composite powder has a decisive influence on the coating performance. In the microstructure of the composite powder, the molybdenum disulfide core provides basic lubricating performance through its layered crystal structure, the intermediate graphene layer reduces the friction coefficient through the plane slip effect of sp2 hybrid carbon atoms, and the outermost porous molybdenum disulfide coating structure not only enhances the interface bonding with other components, but also controls the controlled release of the internal lubricating components, thereby showing that, compared with Comparative Example 3 (without peripheral porous structure coating) and Comparative Example 4 (without internal core-shell structure), the coating not only maintains excellent friction reduction performance, but also significantly improves mechanical performance, showing the unique advantages of the "sandwich" structure design in optimizing the comprehensive performance of the coating.
