Providing effective lubrication at high temperatures/pressures and in oxidative environments is relevant for various industrial applications, such as turbomachinery and cutting tools. Promising solutions are oxidation-resistant hard coatings consisting of binary or ternary films (e.g., Cr−N, Ti−N, Cr−Al−N, Ti−Al−N) doped with vanadium. The amount of oxygen present in an oxidative environment can be varied, leading to different vanadium oxide stoichiometries. We investigated tribological performance of under-oxidized vanadium lubricants, selected based on available experiments. We conducted a ReaxFF molecular dynamics study on selected stoichiometries {V2O3, V3O5, V8O15, V9O17, VO2} at elevated temperatures {600, 800, 1000} [K] and pressures {1, 2, 3, 4} [GPa]. Our tribosystem consists of two rigid V2O5 layers, and a vanadium oxide in-between. At a fixed temperature, we did not notice significant changes of the friction coefficient with stoichiometry. All considered stoichiometries provide effective lubrication. Our study is relevant and interesting for the design of vanadium doped oxidation-resistant hard coatings.
