Abstract:
A combination nano and microparticle treatment for engines enhances fuel efficiency and life duration and reduces exhaust emissions. The nanoparticles are chosen from a class of hard materials, preferably alumina, silica, ceria, titania, diamond, cubic boron nitride, and molybdenum oxide. The microparticles are chosen from a class of materials of layered structures, preferably graphite, hexagonal boron nitride, magnesium silicates (talc) and molybdenum disulphide. The nano-micro combination can be chosen from the same materials. This group of materials includes zinc oxide, copper oxide, molybdenum oxide, graphite, talc, and hexagonal boron nitride. The ratio of nano to micro in the proposed combination varies with the engine characteristics and driving conditions. A laser synthesis method can be used to disperse nanoparticles in engine oil or other compatible medium. The nano and microparticle combination when used in engine oil can effect surface morphology changes such as smoothening and polishing of engine wear surfaces, improvement in coefficient of friction, and fuel efficiency enhancement up to 35% in a variety of vehicles (cars and trucks) under actual road conditions, and reduction in exhaust emissions up to 90%.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a fitting, for example a drawer slide for household appliances, comprising two rails that can move relative to one another and that are slid toward one another by way of rolling elements. In the process, the tracks (6, 8) of the rolling element (4) are lubricated at the rails (2, 3) at least in areas by way of a lubricant (7) comprising a boronitride and/or polysiloxane. This facilitates an efficient use of lubricant (7), which is also stable at high temperatures. The invention further relates to a lubricant, in particular for fittings in household appliances, that is stable at temperatures of over 600° C. and can be used in wet and humid areas.

A water-dilutable emulsion lubricant for machining, exhibiting improved dispersibility and emulsion stability, by emulsifying an oil system, composed of a base oil and an effective amount of fine particles of boron nitride of a crystalline turbostratic structure, dispersed in the base oil, in a water system, using an emulsifier. The lubricant is free from heavy metals, e.g., molybdenum disulfide and useful for machining difficult-to-cut materials such as Ti alloys and Inconel. The lubricant is effective even at a diluted state comprising 0.001% up to 0.1% by weight of crystalline t-BN.
