Abstract:
A manufacturing method for providing a low-friction surface comprises providing (210) of a mechanical element. A tool is mechanically rubbed (212) against a surface of the mechanical element. A process liquid is provided (214) to a contact area between the mechanical element and the tool. The process liquid comprises a first element that is a refractory metal and a second element that is a chalcogen. The first and second elements are provided in a liquid substance. The mechanical rubbing is performed with a contact pressure that is between 1% and 100% of an ultimate strength of the mechanical element. The mechanical rubbing thereby causes a combined burnishing of the surface of the mechanical element and a deposition of a tribofilm on the surface of the mechanical element. The tribofilm comprises the first element and the second element.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a new composite lubricant to deliver lubrication effectiveness by reducing friction coefficient and wear rates and increasing the load bearing capacity, said composite lubricant comprising a base of time-proven aliphatic hydrocarbon into and dispersed throughout which are both nested, hollow, fullerene-like nano-spheres and petroleum distillates previously used as antistatic additives to increase conductivity of the composite lubricant.
Abstract:
Certain preferred embodiments of the present invention relate to compositions for the production of sintered molded parts, components/parts produced therefrom, and methods for preparing such compositions. In accordance with certain embodiments, compositions for production of sintered molded parts comprise a metal-based, a ceramic-based, and/or a polymer-based powder, and a compaction aid, having 25 to 60 weight percent of a polyglycol, based on the total weight of the compaction aid, and 40 to 75 weight percent of a montan wax, based on the total weight of the compaction aid. The compaction aid may be present in an amount from about 0.1 to 5 weight percent, preferably 0.5 to 1.5 weight percent, based on the total weight of the composition. The composition may also include a lubricant such as, for example, MoS2, WS2, BN, MnS, and/or carbon.
Abstract:
Sulfurized phosphorous compounds, which are effective anti-wear, extreme pressure agents, may be formed without odor by reacting phosphorous compounds with other reactive sulfur sources, including elemental sulfur, before addition of polysulfides. The process of the present invention yields a lubricant additive package which is odor free or very low odor, thermally stable, and which contains polysulfides. Particularly useful embodiments of this invention include low odor gear lubricant additive packages.
Abstract:
A machining oil composition comprises at least two ingredients, that is a lubricating base oil and a salt selected from sulfonates of alkali metals and the like. The composition may further comprise a metal composition selected from thiophosphates and the like, and/or sulfur-based extreme pressure agents. Since no chlorine-based extreme pressure agent is contained, little problem on the environmental pollution or the damage of incinerators is involved. The composition exhibits good machining or cutting performance.
