Effect of Gamma Radiation on the Structure and Tribological Properties of Polysilazane Lubricating Coatings
Lubrication and protective coatings applied to the surfaces of moving mechanisms in nuclear reactors face the dual challenges of long-life lubrication and long-term radiation stability. In this study
polysilazane (PSZ)
a precursor with excellent potential for nuclear radiation resistance
was adopted as the base resin binder
and molybdenum disulfide (MoS
2
) was incorporated as the lubricating filler to prepare a PSZ-bonded solid lubricating coating with favorable lubricating and radiation-resistant properties. The variations in the composition
structure
mechanical properties
and tribological properties of the coating after heat treatment at different temperatures and before and after gamma-ray irradiation were systematically investigated. The results show that both high-temperature heat treatment at 300 ℃ and
γ
-ray irradiation can promote the cross-linking and curing of the PSZ composite lubricating coating
thus significantly improving the hardness and tribological properties of the composite coating. In particular
the composite coating subjected to the combined treatment of 300 ℃ high-temperature heat treatment and gamma-ray irradiation exhibited outstanding wear resistance
with an average friction coefficient of approximately 0.34 and a wear rate as low as 6.7×10
-5
mm
3
/(N·m). The composite coating exhibited excellent tribological properties and
γ
-ray radiation resistance. The above research findings provide technical support and theoretical guidance for surface lubrication and protection of relevant me
chanically moving components in advanced nuclear reactors under high radiation dose conditions in the future.
