Abstract:
A method for reducing wear between two surfaces in sliding contact with one another includes introducing nanoparticles between the two surfaces in an amount and having a composition that results in shear lines being generated within at least one agglomerated wear particle that is generated between the two surfaces as a result of the sliding contact, and subjecting the agglomerated wear particles to at least one load, using at least one of the two surfaces, such that the agglomerated wear particles disassemble along the shear lines into multiple smaller wear particles.
Abstract:
A tubular threaded element including a dry protective coating. The coating includes a solid matrix adhering to the substrate in which there are dispersed particles of at least one solid lubricant belonging to one and the same class. The solid matrix is lubricating and has a rheological behaviour of plastic or viscoplastic type. The coating protects the threadings of the threaded elements, used for example in hydrocarbon wells, from corrosion and galling.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a piston (1) for a combustion engine, comprising hub bores (3) that are provided with plain bearing surfaces (5) and are used for accommodating a piston pin. In order to very effectively and inexpensively prevent the piston pin and the hub bores from jamming and wearing off, a self-lubricating coating (6) made of a thermally cured resin which contains embedded solid lubricant particles is applied directly to at least one subarea (Tb) of the plain bearing surfaces by means of rotary atomization.
Abstract:
A lubricant molded body, which is to be applied to a surface of a photosensitive layer for electrophotography in an image forming apparatus, for example, is composed of at least two kinds of higher fatty acid metallic salts having respectively different carbon numbers. As the higher fatty acid metallic salt that forms lubricant molded body, compounds such as zinc stearate, calcium stearate, barium stearate, aluminum stearate, zinc laurate, calcium laurate, etc. may be recited. The higher fatty acid metallic salts may contain at least one kind of fillers selected from the group consisting of silica, alumina, tungsten disulfide, molybdenum disulfide, graphite fluoride, graphite, boron nitride, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE), and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF).
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a plain bearing which can be further improved in bearing capability, in particular, anti-seizure property, initial conformability and cavitation resistance. In the present invention, a sliding layer 2 is formed on the surface of a bearing alloy layer 1 formed of a copper-based or aluminum-based alloy, and the sliding layer 2 comprises a resin binder obtained by applying a strong shearing force to a composition comprising a polybenzimidazole resin as main constituent and at least one member selected from the group consisting of a polyamide-imide resin, a polyamide resin and an epoxy resin, to make the composition into a polymer alloy, and 25 to 75 mass % of a solid lubricant. Owing to such a constitution, toughness and strength are imparted to the sliding layer 2 and the anti-seizure property, initial conformability and cavitation resistance can also be improved.
Abstract:
A tubular threaded element including a dry protective coating. The coating includes a solid matrix adhering to the substrate in which are dispersed particles of solid lubricants from at least two classes that are selected to exert a synergistic effect between themselves and with the constituents of the matrix, i.e. coating provides protection against corrosion and against galling of the threadings of threaded elements used in hydrocarbon wells.
Abstract:
Artifacts, methods of creating such artifacts and methods of using such artifacts are provided. In this regard, an exemplary embodiment of a method for creating an artifact for quantifying measurement accuracy of non-contact sensors included in optical three-dimensional (3-D) measuring systems, comprises: fabricating an artifact using a base material; and coating the artifact with an approximately uniform coating of dry film lubricant.
