Micro-Tribological Performance of MoS2 Lubricants with Varying Au Content

Abstract Microtribological testing with a spherical diamond tip (radius = 100 μm) was conducted on two Au–MoS 2 coatings with 32 at.% and 84 at.% Au. For lower loads (0.2 to 2.0 mN), the performance of both coatings was similar, with minimal wear (
