The solid lubricant having from about twenty-five percent to about seventy percent by volume of a polymeric carrier, about five to seventy-five percent by volume of organic and inorganic extreme pressure additives, about zero to twenty percent by volume synthetic extreme pressure anti-wear liquid oil, and about zero to one percent by volume optical brightener.
Abstract:
A threaded joint for steel pipe formed of a pin and a box having a contact surface including threaded parts and a non-threaded metal contact part and capable of preventing a seizure by repeated tightening and loosening operations without applying compound grease thereto, wherein a solid lubricating film including lubricating powder such as molybdenum disulfide and resin binder is formed on the contact surface of at least one of the pin and box by drying the film by a primary heating in the temperature range of 70 to 150 DEG C and by a secondary heating in the temperature range of more than 150 to 380 DEG C, the solid lubricating film thus obtained has a Rockwell M scale hardness of 70 to 140, an adhesive strength of 500 N/m or higher obtained by the SAICAS method (surface-boundary cutting method), and excellent seizure resistance and airtightness even in a high temperature well environment, and, when ultraviolet ray shielding particles such as titanium oxide are contained in the solid lubricating film, the rust-proofness of the threaded joint is increased.
Abstract:
A metallic material for plastic working which has excellent lubricating properties. The metallic material for plastic working has a gradient two-layer lubricant layer which comprises a base layer located on the metal side, having a thickness of 0.1 to 15.0 mu m, and comprising an inorganic compound as the main component and a lubricant layer located on the surface side, having a thickness of 0.1 to 10.0 mu m, and comprising a lubricant as the main component and in which the ratio of the thickness of the lubricant layer to that of the base layer is from 0.2 to 3.0. The inorganic compound is preferably a phosphate, sulfate, borate, silicate, molybdate, tungstate, etc. The lubricant is preferably a metal soap, wax, polytetrafluoroethylene, molybdenum disulfide, graphite, etc. The metallic material may be iron, steel, stainless steel, etc. The gradient two-layer lubricant layer can be formed by bringing the surface of a metallic material into contact with a water-based treating liquid containing an inorganic compound and a lubricant as major ingredients and then drying the surface.
Abstract:
he present invention provides compositions and methods for the coating and/or ballistic conditioning of firearm projectiles and firearm components including gun barrels, firearm chambers, fully assembled cartridges, shotgun shells, shotgun wads, shot capsules and sabots with molybdenum disulfide. The composition comprises powdered molybdenum disulfide suspended in a carrier comprising a volatile solvent and a binder selected from cellulosic-, alkyd- and acrylic-resins. Methods for the conditioning of firearm bores by the formation of a hardened layer comprising a product of the reaction or interaction of molybdenum disulfide with materials in the barrel bore are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A lubricant for hot rolling used when high-Cr stainless steel is hot rolled, the lubricant being supplied continuously at least while the hot rolling of high-Cr stainless steel is done, to the surface, which contacts the material to be rolled, of a working roll, the lubricant being obtained by dispersing 10-40 wt.% of iron hydroxide powder having an average particle diameter of not less than 0.1 mu m and less than 1 mu m into a viscous aqueous solution produced by dissolving a thickener, which comprises water-soluble high polymer, in water, the lubricant having apparent viscosity of 1000-50000 cP.
