Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) Coating

By Micro Surface Corporation

The Global Leader in Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) coating Micro Surface is the global leader in Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) coating and for over 30 years has applied it to the AMS2530 & DOD-L-85645 standards and lead the way with its use in a variety of applications. With a thickness of only 1/2 micron and an operating temperature of up to 1,200°F it is an excellent coating to reduce friction and noise without needing to resize components. MSC recently completed an initial round of testing on bearings coated with WS2 and a standard stock set which showed the Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) coated bearings lasted much longer and endured more rigorous testing conditions than the uncoated bearings while requiring a significantly lower level of torque and ran at a lower operating temperature.
