Molybdenum disulfide powders include substantially spherically-shaped particles of molybdenum disulfide that are formed from agglomerations of generally flake-like sub-particles. The molybdenum disulfide powders are flowable and exhibit uniform densities. Methods for producing a molybdenum disulfide powder may include the steps of: Providing a supply of molybdenum disulfide precursor material; providing a supply of a liquid; providing a supply of a binder; combining the molybdenum disulfide precursor material with the liquid and the binder to form a slurry; feeding the slurry into a stream of hot gas; and recovering the molybdenum disulfide powder, the molybdenum disulfide powder including substantially spherically-shaped particles of molybdenum disulfide formed from agglomerations of generally flake-like sub-particles.
A molybdenum disulfide powder comprising substantially spherically-shaped particles of molybdenum disulfide formed from agglomerations of generally flake-shaped sub-particles of molybdenum disulfide, said molybdenum disulfide powder comprising at least about 90% by weight molybdenum disulfide.
A molybdenum disulfide powder comprising molybdenum disulfide sub-particles that are agglomerated together to form individual, substantially spherically-shaped particles, said molybdenum disulfide powder comprising at least about 90% by weight molybdenum disulfide.
Generally spherically-shaped molybdenum disulfide particles formed by agglomerating a plurality of flake-shaped molybdenum disulfide sub-particles, said generally spherically-shaped molybdenum disulfide particles comprising at least about 90% by weight molybdenum disulfide and being flowable as measured on a Hall flow scale.
A coated article, comprising:
A surface coating comprising a molybdenum disulfide spherical powder deposited with sufficient energy to cause said molybdenum disulfide spherical powder to bond with a substrate and form said surface coating, said molybdenum disulfide spherical powder comprising substantially spherically-shaped particles of molybdenum disulfide formed from agglomerations of generally flake-shaped sub-particles of molybdenum disulfide, said molybdenum disulfide spherical powder comprising at least about 90% by weight molybdenum disulfide.
