In the 1970s and the early 1980s there was much research into the subject of molybdenum disulphide lubrication, supported by national governments for the benefit of defence, aviation or space activities. In the past fifteen years the technology of inolybdenum disulphide lubrication has stabilised, and a consensus reached about the mechanisms. The use of molybdenum disulphide has become routine in some industries, and in commercial products available. Except in physical deposition new research has fallen. It is clear that there are still disagreements about the mechanisms involved. A primary objective of this book is to analyse disagreements or controversy in molybdenum disulphide lubrication technology, and to draw some conclusions about the mechanisms, in particular, burnishing and film consolidation.
