The graphite-MoS2 coated on GCr15 bearing steel is prepared through air spraying and its tribological performances are investigated experimentally. Then its coefficient of friction (COF) and wear scar width (WSW) are investigated through the MFT-5000 multifunction tribometer and other test equipments. The experimental results show that the addition of the graphite can effectively decrease the COF and narrow the WSW of the MoS2. There exists a critical applied load for wearing out the surface with the graphite-MoS2 coating. Moreover, there exists an optimal rotational speed of 500 rpm to decrease the COF and WSW of the GCr15 steel.
