Abstract:
In a threaded joint for pipes constituted by a pin and a box, each having a contact surface comprising a threaded portion and an unthreaded metal contact portion, the contact surface of the pin has a solid corrosion protective, preferably transparent coating based on a UV-curable resin and the contact surface of the box has a solid lubricating coating having plastic or viscoplastic rheological behavior which is preferably formed by the hot melt technique from a composition comprising a thermoplastic polymer, a wax, a metal soap, a corrosion inhibitor, a water-insoluble liquid resin, and a solid lubricant.
Abstract:
An overbased calcium sulfonate grease composition comprising a reduced amount of overbased calcium sulfonate, added calcium carbonate, base oil, one or more converting agents, and one or more complexing acids if a complex grease is desired. The calcium sulfonate grease composition improves thickener yield and expected high temperature utility as demonstrated by dropping point. The calcium carbonate may be used to react with complexing acids when making a complex grease, such that the addition of calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide is not required. A method of making the composition comprising the steps of mixing the overbased calcium sulfonate and base oil, adding the calcium carbonate, adding one or more converting agents, and adding one or more complexing acids. All or a portion of one or more of the complexing acids may be added with or prior to the one or more converting agents.
Abstract:
A curing formulation operative as a lubricant is provided that has a plurality of silicone polymer precursors constituting a majority by weight of the formulation, each of the plurality of the silicone polymer precursors has a single curable moiety. A crosslinker is provided for reaction with the single curable moiety of each of the plurality of silicone polymer precursors to yield a thermoplastic silicone polymer having a majority by total weight of silicone polymer being comb- or branched-polymer form as the lubricant. A process of lubricating an interface is provide that includes the application of an aforementioned composition to the interface. Upon allowing sufficient time for the formulation to cure in ambient temperature conditions, a thermoplastic silicone polymer is formed having a majority by total weight of silicone polymer being comb- or branched-polymer.
Abstract:
A composition of an oil-soluble ionic detergent that does not contribute metal ions to the composition, and which comprises a quaternary non-metallic pnictogen cation and an organic anion having at least one hydrocarbyl group of sufficient length to impart oil solubility to the detergent, the detergent having a total base number (TBN) to total acid number (TAN) ratio of at least 2:1 imparts ash-free basicity to a lubricant composition.

Abstract:
Provided is an oil deterioration prevention device with which the trapping effect with respect to oil deteriorated components can be improved and with which the oil passage resistance can be reduced, thereby suppressing a rise in pressure loss. This oil deterioration prevention device is equipped with a filter unit equipped with a filter material that filters oil; and a deterioration prevention unit equipped with a powdery deterioration suppressing agent that suppresses oil deterioration. The deterioration prevention unit contains a mesoporous inorganic material, and of the oil fed from an oil storage unit, the oil filtered by the filter unit is fed to parts which are to be lubricated, and the oil in which deterioration has been suppressed by the deterioration prevention unit is returned to the oil storage unit or is fed to the parts to be lubricated.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a sliding member suitable to a soft mating member low in hardness. The present invention relates to a sliding member for sliding with a mating member having a ferrite phase at least on a surface thereof, the sliding member including a coating layer containing a binder resin, molybdenum disulfide, and hard substance particles.
Abstract:
A threaded joint for pipes comprises a pin and a box, each having a threaded and unthreaded portion metal contact surface. The unthreaded metal contact portion includes a sealing surface and a shoulder surface, the shoulder surface of the pin located on the pin end surface. A non-contacting region where the pin and the box do not contact each other exists between the sealing surfaces and the shoulder surfaces of the pin and the box. One or more grooves is formed in at least one of the pin and the box shoulder surfaces and extending to the non-contacting region and to the interior of the joint. At least one of the contact surfaces has a solid lubricating coating exhibiting plastic or viscoplastic rheological behavior. A total volume V (mm3) of the grooves and coating weight W (g) of the solid lubricating coating satisfy the equation V/W≧24 (mm3/g).

Compositions having a plurality of hard particles and a plurality of lubricant nanoparticles are disclosed. Methods of making and using the compositions are also disclosed.
Abstract:
An aqueous hydraulic fluid composition comprising of one or more lubricants such as a monovalent metal salt, ammonium, or alkanolamine salt of a dicarboxylic acid, such as a C21 dicarboxylic acid is described in which the aqueous hydraulic fluid composition demonstrates increased thermal stability when exposed to elevated temperatures for a prolonged period of time while being able to tolerate the presence of 10% v/v synthetic seawater. The aqueous hydraulic fluid composition contains less than about 20% by weight (preferably none or substantially none) of an oil selected from the group consisting of mineral oils, synthetic hydrocarbon oils, and mixtures thereof.
