Adding small amount of graphite (2.94% of weight) to MoS2 film appears to increase film loadcarrying capability to its ultimate. Substrate is hardened to Rockwell C42-55 to prevent deformation that would tend to disrupt lubricant film. Surface is first prepared to receive lubricant: film is sprayed on to depth of 0.0005 to 0.001 in. and baked at approx 300'F for 5 hr. Tests proved this lubricant superior at high loads (over 100,000 psi) to fluid lubricants, unbonded and resin-bonded dry lubricants, and to other inorganically bonded dry lubricants.
