Abstract:
Additive packages including multifunctional additive molecules are disclosed, including, for example, organic medium intercalated with lubricant nanoparticles. The additive package may be greaseless or may be added to materials such as base oils or greases, greaseless materials, or anti-corrosives, for example. The additive package added to materials may form a coating or lubricant that may be added to a surface of an object.

The base may include a coating of carbon of a diamond-like carbon type. The coating may include at least one of (i) a transition layer including a composition of WC1-X and (ii) a layer of metallic chromium of crystalline structure disposed between the ferrous base and an outer layer of amorphous carbon. The coating may also include an intermediate layer of a nanocrystalline phase of carbides in a multilayer structure having a first sub-layer including a composition different than a second sub-layer disposed under the outer layer.
Abstract:
The invention provides a silicone grease composition where the high friction properties are improved, with no decrease of the wear preventive characteristics. The silicone grease composition contains a thickener, a base oil containing a silicone oil in an amount of 50 mass % or more of the total mass of the base oil, and a metallic oxide with a Mohs hardness of 6 or less as a friction modifier.
Abstract:
A composition that includes solid lubricant nanoparticles and an organic medium is disclosed. Also disclosed are nanoparticles that include layered materials. A method of producing a nanoparticle by milling layered materials is provided. Also disclosed is a method of making a lubricant, the method including milling layered materials to form nanoparticles and incorporating the nanoparticles into a base to form a lubricant.
Abstract:
To provide a lubricating coating agent for plastic working, containing a non-black solid lubricating material, and a metal material coated with the agent, which enable highly difficult forging that has been conventionally difficult to practically apply to anything except lubricating coating films containing a black solid lubricant typified by molybdenum disulfide. The problems can be achieved by means of a lubricating coating agent for plastic working, which is characterized by containing, at 5 mass % or more in terms of solid content ratio in a coating film, a calcium sulfate hydrate with a particular scale-like crystal shape among calcium sulfate hydrates deposited by reacting a sulfuric acid or a sulfate with a calcium compound in water, and a metal material coated with the agent.
Abstract:
A nanolubricant composition is described where the lubricant composition includes a flowable oil or grease with a multi-component nanoparticle dispersed in the flowable oil or grease. The multi-component nanoparticle includes a first nanoparticle component which effects thermal conductivity at a part interface and a second nanoparticle component which effects shearing at a part interface.
