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:
A medical device for use in surgery made of a metal having a first hard coating layer applied to the metal, a second PTFE coating layer applied to the hard coating, and a third soap based lubricant coating layer applied to the PTFE layer.
Abstract:
The subject matter of the invention is a tubular element intended for drilling and/or operating hydrocarbon wells having one end (1; 2) comprising at least one threaded area (3; 4), characterised in that the end (1; 2) is at least partially coated with a dry film (12), comprising a matrix (13) including a mixture of at least one alkali polysilicate and at least one semi-crystalline thermoplastic organic polymer. The invention also relates to a method for producing a dry film (12), comprising a matrix (13) including a mixture of at least one alkali polysilicate and at least one semi-crystalline thermoplastic organic polymer, on such a tubular element intended for drilling and/or operating hydrocarbon wells.
Abstract:
A threaded joint for steel pipes for use in an oil well which has improved galling resistance and which is protected from rusting comprises a pin and a box each having a contact surface including a threaded portion and an unthreaded metal contact portion. The contact surface of at least one of the pin and the box has a lower layer of a viscous liquid or semisolid lubricating coating comprising at least wax and a fatty acid alkaline earth metal salt and not containing a harmful heavy metal such as lead and an upper layer of a dry solid coating formed from an aqueous resin coating composition, an organic solvent type coating composition, or an ultraviolet curing coating composition.
Abstract:
Dry film lubricant coatings are provided by using a silicone resin binder, either as an aqueous emulsion or in a solvent-based system, to fix an alkaline earth metal fluoride to a substrate. The compositions used to apply the coatings may also include relatively minor amounts of xylene, ammonium benzoate, a wetting agent, and/or a porosity-inducing agent-although none of those additives remains in the cured coating. Multi-layer dry film lubricant coatings are also disclosed, with the multi-layer coating having a basecoat layer as described above, and a topcoat layer made of a layer-lattice solid such as graphite or molybdenum disulfide, and a silicone resin, aluminum phosphate or an alkali metal silicate binder.
