Properties of MoS2 layers

Molybdänsulfid MoS2 Eigenschaften

Excellent adhesion due to the low process temperature

With molybdenum sulfide, sophisticated coatings are possible that:  

​

  • are ideal for moving engine parts, such as pistons and roller bearings

  • can reduce the corrosion of metallic components

  • reduce the risk of wear and tear due to metal-to-metal friction

  • improve the wear behavior of stainless steel and titanium alloys

Standard applications are a thing of the past,
unique and outstanding coating results are now in demand.

Tailor-made alloys for specific and demanding applications and 

of course also standard sizes in the form of individual offers.

INNOVATIVE COATINGS
TO MEET THE HIGH MARKET AND CUSTOMER REQUIREMENTS

High-quality MoS2 composite layers can be produced using DC or pulsed magnetron sputtering physical vapor deposition (PVD) technology.

 

Suitable hardware components (power supply, control, design of the cathodes) enable the synthesis of MoS2 thin films with controlled phases: this makes it possible to achieve an extremely low coefficient of friction with increased wear resistance and a simultaneous increase in service life.
