Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an electroviscous fluid comprising an electrical insulating liquid and particles dispersed therein, said particles being composed of semiconducting particles having a weight average particle size of 1 to 100 .mu.m and dielectric particles having a weight average particle size of 1 to 3 .mu.m, the weight average particle size of the dielectric particles being not more than 30% of that of the semiconducting particles, the amount of the dielectric particles being 5 to 40 vol % based on the total particles, and the amount of the particles in the whole fluid being 10 to 60 vol %.
Abstract:
The coefficient of friction of aluminum can surfaces after alkaline cleaning and drying can be substantially reduced by adding to the alkaline cleaner a mobility enhancing additive, preferably a surface active quaternary ammonium salt with hydroxyethyl substituents on the quaternary nitrogen atoms. A can surface suitable for automatic conveying and high quality lacquer or printing ink adhesion can thereby be obtained, if desired without including any substantial fluoride content in any treatment stage.
Abstract:
An oxide type solid lubricant is formed of a powder of a fired composite ceramic material resulting from heating a mixture of BaZrO.sub.3 and Cr.sub.2 O.sub.3 powders in which the Cr.sub.2 O.sub.3 content is up to 80% by weight.

Abstract:
In one respect, this invention is a lubricating composition which comprises a polyaryl ether lubricating fluid and an additive which is (a) cesium carbonate, (b) cesium phosphate, or (c) a benzoate of cesium, rubidium, or lithium wherein the additive is present in the lubricating composition in an amount effective to produce an antioxidative effect in the lubricating composition. In another respect, this invention is a process for reducing the rate of oxidation in a polyaryl ether lubricating fluid which comprises adding an additive wherein the additive is (a) cesium carbonate, (b) cesium phosphate, or (c) a benzoate of cesium, rubidium, or lithium to the polyaryl ether lubricating fluid in an amount effective to produce an antioxidative effect in the lubricating composition.
Abstract:
Railroad wheel flange lubricating is carried out with a lubricating composition which is particularly useful in a locomotive-mounted applicator. The water base lubricant comprises a compatible blend of two polyoxyalkylene glycols, one a synthetic lubricant and the other a synthetic thickener. The lubricating composition is persistent and environmentally innocuous.
Abstract:
A lubricant for the topical application to objects that will contact various forms of water, e.g., liquid, snow, ice, or mixtures thereof, to reduce friction and thereby increase speed, glide and maneuverability. The lubricant consists essentially of hexagonal boron nitride and a binder of single or mixed oxides or organics, the boron nitride content (after drying) being from about 36 wt. % to about 99 wt. %. Binders of particular interest are water-based colloidal aluminum oxide and colloidal silicon dioxide. This lubricant is suitable for topical applications in a thin layer to various sports objects, such as skis, snowboards, ice skates, snowmobiles, toboggans, sleds, boats, etc., where reduced friction, and thus higher speed, glide and maneuverability is desired. Although a solid stick form (by drying or pressure-less sintering) is preferred, the lubricant can be in the form of a paste or a powder. Further, this lubricant can be incorporated into waxes of the type previously used for friction reduction to obtain the benefit of both.
Abstract:
A method of extruding a synthetic thermoplastic resin in which a processing aid in the form of a lubricant is added to the thermoplastic resin in order to facilitate processing of the thermoplastic resin. The improvement resides in using an organosilicon resinous composition as the lubricant for the thermoplastic resin.
Abstract:
In the cold drawing of steel tubing, an excellent lubrication which permits drawing the tubing while retaining its original metallic luster can be achieved by first contacting the surfaces of the tubing, both exterior and interior, with a colloidal titanium containing aqueous composition, drying the tubing, and then applying to the surface of the tubing a liquid lubricating composition comprising (i) from 40 to 95% of a first component selected from the group consisting of olefin/oil or olefin/fat compounds which contain from 23 to 30% of sulfur and olefin/higher ester compounds which contain from 23 to 30% sulfur, including mixtures of two or more chemical species meeting this description; and (ii) from 5 to 50% of a second component selected from the group consisting of oil soluble polymer compounds, fats and oils, synthetic oils, mineral oils, higher fatty acids, and the amine salts of higher fatty acids.
Abstract:
An electrorheological material comprising a carrier fluid and an atomically polarizable particle component. The atomically polarizable particle component has a crystalline lattice structure which allows atoms to shift position with respect to each other in response to the application of an electric field. The electrorheological materials are subjected to an alternating current electric field at a frequency of at least 500 Hz. The materials exhibit substantial electrorheological activity over a broad temperature range.
