Abstract:
There is provided a galvanized steel sheet with high press formability, which has an inorganic compound on a metallic galvanized layer thereof. The galvanized steel sheet according to the present invention is manufactured by bringing the plating surface of the galvanized steel sheet into contact with a water solution containing 0.1 wt% or more of a borate of alkaline metal, and then drying the steel sheet by heating within a temperature range of 60 to 400°C. The friction coefficient of the galvanized steel sheet of the invention is 80% or less of the friction coefficient obtained without the existence of the inorganic compound on the metallic galvanized layer and the amount of insoluble slimes of the inorganic compound left after water washing or alkali degreasing is less than 1 mg/m².
Abstract:
A method of providing improved lubrication of tools used for hot-working rare earth-transition metal alloy particles in which dry glass or glass/graphite lubricants are suitably applied to the working surfaces of the tools.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a thread compound, containing graphite, grease and usual additives, to a process for the preparation thereof and to the use of said compound. The thread compound according to the invention contains 20-50%, by weight, of powdered graphite, 10-25%, by weight, of powdered talc, and balance to 100%, by weight, of grease and the usual additives. The thread compounds according to the invention do not contain lead or lead compounds, but still have the above-mentioned desired properties. Preferred thread compounds of the invention comprise 28-35%, by weight, of the powdered graphite, 14-17.5%, by weight, of the powdered talc, and balance to 100%, by weight, of the grease and the usual additives. Surprisingly good results may be obtained when in the thread compound the amount of talc is about 50%, by weight, of the amount of the graphite.
Abstract:
This invention relates to the use of ionic liquids as lubricants in vapor compression systems for cooling or heating. This invention also relates to an apparatus for adjusting temperature that operates a vapor compression cycle.
Abstract:
A threaded joint for steel pipes comprising a pin and a box each having a contact surface including a threaded portion and an unthreaded metal contact portion, characterized in that the contact surface of at least one of the pin and the box has a solid lubricant coating formed thereon which comprises a lubricating powder selected from molybdenum disulfide and/or tungsten disulfide and a resin, the coatig having a hardness of 70-140 on the Rockwell M scale.
Abstract:
A threaded joint for steel pipe formed on a pin and a box having a contact surface including a threaded parts and a non-threaded metal contact part and capable of preventing a galling by repeated fastening 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 the bo by drying the film by primary heating in the temperature range of 70 °C to 150 °C and by a secondary heating in the range of from higher than 150 °C to 380 °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 (Surface And Interfacial Cutting Analysis System) method, and excellent galling 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.
