Oxide Formation from Molybdenum Disulphide

Abstract

ALTHOUGH MOLYBDENUM DISULPHIDE has become well established in industry as a high temperature lubricant and much evidence has been published to show that it can be safely used in motor ear engines the statement is still often made that it decomposes on heating in air to give abrasive or acidic corrosive products which cause excessive wear.
