Tungsten disulfide can take place of molybdenum disulfide in almost every field with even more wider application. Molybdenum and tungsten is in the same phrator of chemical element, chemical property of tungsten is more stable and higher molecular weight. Molybdenum is widely used due to its low price and high efficiency of marketing supplement. In fact, tungsten disulfide is not newly developed product, its application history is all the way with molybdenum disulfide. Due to its high price, it is firstly used in NASA aerospace, military, automobile industry and so on. A few years ago, price of tungsten disulfide is ten times higher than molybdenum disulfide. Nowadays price of molybdenum disulfide is increasing rapidly. And the price of these two materials is the same. So it would be more valuable if tungsten disulfide is used.
