The sensitivity to humidity differs a lot for each single constituent. Only one component is not sufficient for stabilising the COF and it is also necessary to add more components than only one metal sulphide to graphite. Furthermore, a good mixing process inside the third body during braking is necessary to prevent formation of solid lubricant films which are detrimental for braking. Nevertheless, not every metal sulphide acts as a solid lubricant but most of them have the ability for stabilizing the friction coefficient.

Powder mixtures were prepared by using a bottom-up approach, where magnetite is the main component, in which different metal sulphides are mixed in. At 400 °C, the resulting coefficients of friction are higher in air than in nitrogen atmosphere, which can be attributed to the generation of metal oxides and were confirmed by doing thermal analysis.

Um deren Wirkung zu untersuchen, wurden verschiedene Pulvermischungen in einer Stift-Scheibe-Anordnung tribologisch beansprucht, um künstliche dritte Körper zu erzeugen und zu testen, deren definierte Zusammensetzungen aus drei wichtigen Bestandteilen einer realen Reibschicht bestehen: Magnetit, Graphit und div. Metallsulfide. N2 - Besides carbon, metal sulphides are used in every standard brake pad formulation as friction stabilisers. In order to investigate their impact, various powder mixtures were tribologically stressed in a pin-on-disc device in order to produce and test artificial third bodies. containing the three main components of a real friction film, namely magnetite, graphite and a metal sulphide of interest. Since the sliding behaviour is influenced by the relative humidity the powder mixtures are tested at low, medium and high moisture levels. The tests revealed that the presence of graphite dominates the friction behaviour as well as the humidity sensitivity. The powders were prepared by either manual mixing or high energy ball-milling. Interestingly, all ball-milled blends provided coefficients of friction within the desired range for braking, which was attributed to the effect of zirconia particles from wear debris of the milling balls. The zirconia particles prevent the formation of solid lubricant films on the surfaces and support a homogeneous mixture of all constituents of the powder. Optimum brake performance is gained by an optimum combination of solid lubricants and abrasives. T2 - 57.

The tests revealed that each metal sulphide causes significant differences in resulting coefficients of friction as well in their sensitivity to humidity, so that only one solid lubricant cannot stabilise the friction behaviour during braking in different environments.
