Abstract:
Forge lubrication processes are disclosed. A solid lubricant sheet is placed between a workpiece and a die in a forging apparatus. Force is applied to the workpiece with the die to plastically deform the workpiece. The solid lubricant sheet decreases the shear friction factor for the forging system and reduces the incidence of die-locking.
Abstract:
A grease for a sliding bearing capable of suppressing noise resulting from a slippages between a shaft and the bearing in stopping a machine. The grease (24) for the sliding bearing is supplied between the sliding bearing (16) formed of a porous sintered alloy bush having a lubricating oil (31) impregnated in the pores (30) thereof and the shaft (22) inserted into the sliding bearing (16) and rotatingly slidably supported thereon in the circumferential direction. The grease is characterized in that it uses a base oil having a dynamic viscosity at 40°C of 10 to 70 mm2/s and oozed by the load of the shaft (22) to form an oil film (35) between the sliding bearing (16) and the shaft (22).
Abstract:
A threaded joint for steel pipe formed of a pin and a box having a contact surface including threaded parts and a non-threaded metal contact part and capable of stably assuring a seizure resistance and an airtightness without applying compound grease thereto, wherein a solid lubricating film formed with lubricating powder (example: molybdenum disulfide) and organic or inorganic binder is formed on the contact surface of at least one of the pin and box, the ratio of the area occupied by the secondary particles of 15 to 60νm in equi-area equivalent diameter of the lubricating powder in the cross section of the solid lubricating film in thickness direction is 5 to 90%, and fiber-like filler (example: inorganic substance whisker) in addition to the lubricating powder is mixed into the solid lubricating film at the mass ratio of the fiber-like filler to binder of 0.01 to 0.5, whereby, particularly, the seizure resistance at high temperatures can be improved.
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, ultraviolet screening fine particles, and a resin, wherein the ultraviolet fine particles are fine particles of one or more substances selected from titanium oxide, zinc oxide, and iron oxide.
Abstract:
A threaded joint for steel pipes comprised of a pin 1 and a box 2 each having a threaded portion (1a, 2a) and an unthreaded metal contact portion (1b, 2b) exhibits adequate leakage resistance and galling resistance when used for makeup of oil country tubular goods with application of a green dope or even without any dope. The threaded joint has a first plating layer of Sn-Bi alloy plating or Sn-Bi-Cu alloy plating formed on the contact surface of at least one of the pin 1 and the box 2. The first plating layer may have a second plating layer selected from Sn plating, Cu plating, and Ni plating on its lower side and at least one layer of a lubricating coating, and particularly a solid lubricating coating, on its upper side.
Abstract:
A method for protecting a metal surface from galling and corrosion includes a step of providing a protective dry film on the metal surface. The film includes a solid lubricant and a conducting polymer, the conducting polymer having lubricant properties and being capable of binding the solid lubricant to the metal surface. Threaded metal joint surfaces coated with the film are capable of resisting galling under high pressure and high torque conditions, even after several fastening and unfastening operations or over a long period of time. Protection from corrosion is also provided by the film. The method and film are economical in that only a single layer of protective compound need be applied in order to provide metal surfaces with both lubrication and protection against corrosion, and problems such as removal or leakage, which are associated with protective compounds that use oils, are avoided. Additionally, the dry film is advantageous because it does not contain heavy metals that are harmful to the environment.
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.
Abstract:
A solid film lubricant system for protecting metal wear interfaces subject to high temperatures and wet lubrications, comprising an oil-attracting solid lubricant mixture with at least two elements selected from the group of graphite, MoS2 and BN; a support (i.e., hard lands or hard sublayer) for the mixture to loads of at least 10 psi at temperatures of 600 DEG -800 DEG F. while being thermally stable; a thermally stable thermoset polymer matrix adhering the mixture to the support or the wear surface, the polymer having inherent hydrocarbon chemical attraction to form a tenacious oil film of the lubricating oil on the wearing surface. A method of making anti-friction coated surfaces comprising providing a light metal based cylinder surface (i.e., metal base or alloys of aluminum, titanium, or magnesium); exposing nonoxidized metal of the surface; applying a high elastic modulus load-supporting metal layer onto at least portions of the light metal cylinder surface; and simultaneously distributing a solvent-based solid film lubricant mixture and thermoset polymer onto at least portions of the layer at about room temperature to form a coating of desired thickness. An engine block with one or more anti-friction coated cylinder bore surfaces, comprising a hard, load-supporting face on the bore surface; and a coating on the face comprised of an oil-attracting solid lubricant mixture and a thermoset polymer that supports loads of at least 10 psi at temperatures of 600 DEG -800 DEG F. and is stable at such temperatures.
Abstract:
The present invention provides lubricant compositions for the powder metallurgical field. The lubricant compositions contain a solid phase lubricant such as graphite, molybdenum disulfide, and polytetrafluoroethylene in combination with a liquid phase lubricant that is a binder for the solid phase lubricant. The binder can be chosen from various classes of compounds including polyethylene glycols, polyethylene glycol esters, partial esters of C3-6 polyhydric alcohols, polyvinyl esters, and polyvinyl pyrrolidones. The binder is solubilized in an organic solvent.
