Abstract:
In a method of lubrication between two sliding members at least one of which is made of a ceramic material, the improvement according to the present invention is characterized in that soot as produced by burning a hydrocarbon fuel is supplied between the two sliding members.
Abstract:
A die-casting powdery mold releasing agent according to this invention is a mold releasing agent comprising a mixture of powdery or granulated mold releasing base material composed of an inorganic compound as used for lubricant in a solid form and an organic compound giving adhesive property to the mold releasing agent, the both having powdery or granulated configurations, or configurations in which the organic compound is covered on the mold releasing base material. The mold releasing agent allows production of castings of high quality, in the die-casting method with good workability and without worsening environmental situations.
Abstract:
A lubricant composition comprised of (A) fatty acid, (B) polytetrafluoroethylene fluorocarbon resin powder (C) pyrogenic amorphous silica powder and (D) carrier. The lubricant is prescribed for use with a pneumatic tire and wheel assembly containing a run-flat device. The lubricant is contemplated as a component in such an assembly.
Abstract:
A tribological system, comprising a main body and a sandwich lubrication, in which the sandwich lubrication includes a binder-free solid lubricant layer comprising a solid lubricant, and a lubricant layer comprising a lubricant. The binder-free solid lubricant layer and the lubricant layer are present as separate layers on the main body and wherein the mass ratio of solid lubricant to lubricant is at most 0.05:1.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a coating for high-temperature applications with tribological stress. The coating comprises a multi-layer system and a top lubrication layer, the top lubricant layer containing, as a main component, molybdenum.
Abstract:
Lubricating compositions are provided. The lubricating compositions can include a lubricating agent, a flexibilizer, a dispersing agent, and a charge imparting agent. The lubricating compositions can optionally include a carrier.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a coating for high-temperature uses with tribological stress. The coating comprises a multi-layer system and a top lubricant layer, the top lubricant layer containing molybdenum as a main component.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a lubrication device comprising a solid lubricant disposed between and in contact with a first electrode and a second electrode dimensioned and arranged such that application of an electric potential between the first electrode and the second electrode sufficient to produce an electric arc between the first electrode and the second electrode to produce a plasma in an ambient atmosphere at an ambient pressure which vaporizes at least a portion of the solid lubricant to produce a vapor stream comprising the solid lubricant. Methods to lubricate a surface utilizing the lubrication device in-situ are also disclosed.
