Nowadays, due to an extensive use of aluminum in various industries, improving its wear properties has been received lots of attentions. The aim of this study is to fabricate MoS 2 solid lubricant layers on the anodic aluminum oxide substrate and tribological properties were characterisared. For this purpose, two types of anodic aluminum oxide substrates were created in voltages of 80 and 100 V. 0.5-2.5%wt of MoS 2 powder particles were added to 150ml deionized water with 0.09 g polyethylene glycol non-ionic surfactants and 0.01 g ionic surfactant Sodium dodecyl sulfate. Suspension stability was measured, and suspension by the value of 1.5%wt of MoS 2 was selected as the optimal value. MoS 2 coating were deposited by the electrophoretic coating process in periods of 1 and 2 minutes and at voltages of 20, 40, 60 and 80 V on both substrates. Evaluation and characterization tests such as hardness, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy were performed on the surface of coatings. Results showed that the pore size of 30 nm was formed in the anodizing process. Because of long time process, some of these large voids size could reached to approximately 1µm. By increasing the pore size, the hardness of coatings reduced. The coating thickness increased by applied high voltage. To investigate tribological properties of coating, wearing tests were carried out under 5N load and 0.05m/s speed condition by using AISI 52100 steel pin. The results showed that by increasing the voltage, the amount of deposition of MoS 2 on the surface was increased and the maximum amount of deposition was conducted at 80 V. Moreover, the amount of deposition increased and the rate of deposition was reduced. The lubricant layer reduced the friction coefficient from 0.9 to 0.05. Friction coefficient fluctuation was reduced significantly after coating. Keywords : Anodizing, Solid lubricant, Molybdenum disulfide, Electrophoretic, Wear
