It was shown that in air at room temperature and at high temperatures VNII NP-212 and VNII NP-230 solid film lubricants with organic film forming materials have the longest life. In a vacuum of 0.00001 torr and in argon, the limit of working temperatures for solid film lubricants VNII NP-209, VNII NP-213, and VNII NP-229 is increased to 500-600C. It was shown that for all practical purposes, exposure to low temperatures (-254C) and radiation with an integrated dose of 10 to the 8th power--10 to the 9th power rad do not shorten the life of solid film lubricants.
