Abstract:
Disclosed is a lubricating oil which has a low viscosity and a low vapor pressure at the same time, is free from a risk of inflammation and excellent in heat resistance. The lubricating oil has friction characteristics equivalent to those of the conventional hydrocarbon lubricating oils, and can be used for a long time under extremely severe conditions such as at high temperatures in vacuum condition. The lubricating oil contains, as a base oil, an ionic liquid which is composed of cations and anions and has an ion concentration of not less than 1 mol/dm3.
Abstract:
A protective agent for an image bearing member of an image forming apparatus. The protective agent is applied onto a surface of the image bearing member and includes a hydrophobic organic compound (A), an inorganic fine particle (B), and an inorganic lubricant (C).
Abstract:
The present invention provides a lubricant for hot metal working which is capable of inhibiting generation of white scale, attributed to the lubricant, on the surface of a workpiece material and is capable of improving lubricity to obtain favorable appearance of the finished product. The lubricant for hot metal working comprises a silicate compound used for adding to a lubricant composition mainly containing sodium borate.
Abstract:
An aqueous lubricant for use in plastic working of a metallic material which comprises (A) a water soluble inorganic salt and (B) a wax, wherein the components are dissolved or dispersed in water, and wherein a solid concentration ratio (weight ratio) (B)/(A) is 0. 3 SIMILAR 1.5. and a method for producing a lubricative film, characterized in that a lubricative film is produced by applying the aqueous lubricant, preferably in a dried weight of 0.5 SIMILAR 40g/m , on the surface of a metallic material, providing no chemical conversion layer thereon, followed by drying. The aqueous lubricant preferably further comprises (C) a metal salt of a fatty acid in a solid concentration ratio (C) /(A) of 0.01 SIMILAR 0.4. The water soluble inorganic salt (A) is preferably selected from among a sulfate, a silicate, a borate, a molybdate and a tungstate. The wax is preferably a synthetic wax which is dispersed in water and has a melting point of 70 SIMILAR 150 DEG C. The metal salt of a fatty acid (C) is preferably obtained through reacting a saturated fatty acid having 12 SIMILAR 26 carbon atoms with a metal selected from among zinc, calcium, barium, aluminium, magnesium and lithium. The aqueous lubricant can be used for imparting excellent lubricity with ease to the surface of metal having no chemical conversion layer formed thereon.
Abstract:
A lubricant coating disposed between a substrate and a counter surface comprises a reaction layer immediately adjacent the substrate. A bonding layer is immediately adjacent the reaction layer, with the bonding layer comprising a first composition. A low friction, lubricious layer is immediately adjacent the bonding layer, with the lubricious layer comprising a second composition that is different from the first composition.
