[0002] When space moving mechanisms such as high-speed rotating planetary reducers in lunar robots and reciprocating pistons in Stirling generators move for a long time under extreme service conditions such as high vacuum, high temperature, high speed and heavy load, the surfaces of the moving mechanisms are seriously worn, the moving mechanisms are inoperable, and even major engineering tasks such as deep space exploration are failed. As a material with high-temperature stability and excellent friction-reducing lubricating performance, the high-temperature solid lubricating coating is one of the most effective ways to improve and enhance the service life and reliable operation of the space moving mechanisms.
[0003] The high-temperature solid lubricating coating is obtained by compounding a metal or ceramic binder with a high-temperature lubricant to improve the friction and wear performance of the base body. As a metal-based lubricating material with good heat conduction, electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, the copper-based lubricating material has an atmospheric dry friction factor of about 0.1-0.2, is the first choice for sliding friction parts, and has excellent friction-reducing performance especially under high load.
