Anti-fret coating system

Abstract

A method, system and apparatus are disclosed for providing an anti-fret coating system to a component having a wear surface. The method includes applying a dry film lubrication system to a basecoat having a copper based material positioned on a substrate, wherein the dry film lubrication system includes: applying at least one intermediate coating layer having a calcium fluoride and barium fluoride material in a silicone binder over the basecoat; and applying a top coat layer having a molybdenum disulfide material over the at least one intermediate coating layer. The method can further include removing an existing intermediate coating layer and an existing top coat layer before said applying the dry film lubrication system; removing an existing top coat layer before said applying the dry film lubrication system; and removing an existing basecoat and applying another basecoat having a copper based material before said applying the dry film lubrication system.
