Abstract:
A method of protecting silver contacts in switches for electronic equipment is provided by utilizing a silicone-based grease which is comprised of a polyorganosiloxane base in combination with a thickener such as finely divided silica or a metal soap and an organomercaptan compound represented by R.sup.2 SH wherein R.sup.2 represents a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 18 to 22 carbon atoms. There may also be optionally included an ester bond-containing organic compound for improved properties when the treated silver contacts have relatively high contact pressure.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a formulated conductive grease for an associated bearing that can be used in a drive system, such as a variable frequency drive system for motors having a formulation sufficient to reduce the voltage build up that causes damaging electric discharge machining (“EDM”) on rotational bearing supported surfaces, such as inner and outer races, while still maintaining a grease composition suitable for bearing long life at operational temperatures. The higher conductivity of the inventive grease results in lowering of the threshold voltage of pulse discharges, which consequently decreases the energy release in each pulse and the resulting bearing temperatures, avoiding bearing damage. The disclosure further provides a bearing lifetime prediction model given typical discharge conditions from both Si and SiC inverters using a bearing state of health (SOH) metric.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an effective thermal grease comprising a hyperbranched olefinic fluid and a thermally conductive filler. Property-modifying additives and fillers may also be included. The hyperbranched olefinic fluid is selected to have an average of at least 1.5 methine carbons per oligomer molecule and at least 40 methine carbons per one thousand total carbons. The thermal grease exhibits a flash point of 180° C. or higher, a pour point of 0° C. or lower, and a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. of no more than 200 cSt (0.0002 m 2/s). The composition may offer improved thermal conductivity, reduced tendency to migrate, and lower cost when compared with many other thermal greases, including silicone-based thermal greases.

Abstract:
Provided is a heat conductive silicone grease composition, including: (A) 100 parts by volume of an organopolysiloxane with a specific structure and with a kinematic viscosity at 25° C. of 10 to 10,000 mm2/s, (B) 0.1 to 50 parts by volume of an alkoxysilane with a specific structure, and (C) 100 to 2,500 parts by volume of a heat conductive filler. The composition exhibits high thermal conductivity, retains excellent fluidity meaning the composition exhibits favorable workability, and is capable of filling fine indentations, thereby reducing contact resistance and providing excellent heat radiation performance. Also, the durability, under conditions of high temperature and high humidity, of the composition is improved, thereby improving the reliability of the composition during actual use. Heat generated by a heat-generating body can be dissipated into a heat-radiating body by sandwiching the composition between the heat-generating body and the heat-radiating body.
