What is Tungsten Disulfide (WS₂)?
Tungsten Disulfide is a metal made of one atom of tungsten and two atoms of sulfur. WS₂ is primarily use as a solid lubricant.
2
How does tungsten disulfide reduce friction?
The hardness of tungsten is used to stick the tungsten disulfide into the substrate like a dart and the sulfur provides the low coefficient of friction.
3
Tungsten disulfide vs. molybdenum disulfide: Which is better?
Tungsten disulfide has a similar coefficient of friction to molybdenum disulfide but tungsten disulifde is does not require binders and can be put on a lot thinner.
4
What is the coefficient of friction of WS₂?
The coefficient of friction of tungsten disulfide is about 0.03. The smoother the substrate the lower the coefficient of friction.
5
How do you apply tungsten disulfide?
Tungsten disulfide is applied to substrate through impingement with high velocity compressed air.
6
Is tungsten disulfide safe?
Tungsten Disulfide is non-toxic, inert and USP class VI approved.
7
Can tungsten disulfide be used in vacuum or aerospace applications?
Tungsten Disulfide was made for vacuum environments aerospace applications. WS₂ does not expand or contract with temperature or pressure and is LOX compatible.
