Abstract:
A coating composition for a lubricating coating film includes: (A) a phenolic resin (B) an epoxy resin having an epoxy equivalent weight of 600 to 4000; and (C) at least one type of solid lubricant. The epoxy equivalent weight is generally defined by the number average molecular weight per the number of epoxy groups in a single molecule. The coating composition has a weight ratio of component (A) to the total weight of component (A) and component (B) of at least 50 weight %. A lubricating coating film, formed from the coating composition, has a high level of flexibility on surfaces of various base materials.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for fabricating a low friction and highly durable coating on a solid substrate. Also disclosed is a coating that increase durability and reduce friction of a substrate. The coating comprises at least one layer polydopamine and one layer of graphite. Dip coating is used to deposit said polydopamine layer on top of a substrate and then said graphite coating on top of said polydopamine layer.
Abstract:
A connecting element for a tubular component, the connecting element being overlaid with a coating including a principal layer constituted by a nickel-phosphorus alloy, a tubular component including one or more such connecting elements, and a method for producing such a connecting element.
Abstract:
Aluminum alloy-made piston 1 is provided having, on external circumferential surfaces of both skirt portions 8, 9 of base member 1a, a multilayer solid lubricant coating film including inner coating film 21 and outer coating film 22. Both of the inner and outer coating films contain at least one of polyimide-imide resins, polyimide resins and epoxy resins as a binder resin. The inner coating film is formed of a material containing graphite etc. as a solid lubricant, and applied to the external surfaces of the skirt portions and then irradiated with laser beams by a laser heating apparatus at a temperature rise rate of 11.3-23.9° C./sec. for 10 seconds to be dried. Then, the outer coating film is applied to the top surface thereof, followed by baking treatment. With this, the multilayer solid lubricant coating film is formed in a possibly short total treatment time in a coating film-forming step.
Abstract:
A swash plate type compressor is arranged with a plurality of semispherical shoes and a disc shaped swash plate. A resin coating having a honeycomb structure is formed on a surface and a rear surface (sliding surface) of the swatch plate which slides with the shoe. An edge part (top end) of each of the multiple cylinder bodies which forms the resin coating layer are at the same plane and forms a sliding surface which slides with the shoe. In addition, an interior space of each cylinder body forms a storage part of a lubricant and a container part for foreign objects.The swash plate can be provided with excellent wear resistance, seizure resistance and lubrication retention.

Abstract:
There are provided a self-lubricating composite material capable of obtaining a necessary strength at a mixing ratio of a solid lubricant such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) of 60 mass % or greater; and a rolling bearing, a linear motion device, a ball screw device, a linear motion guide device, and a transport device using the same. To that end, a self-lubricating composite material which is material used in a solid-lubricant spacer (6) of a rolling bearing (1) contains 60 mass % to 80 mass % of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and a balance containing iron (Fe).
Abstract:
[Problem] To exchange the roller bearing that has been used in a scroll compressor mounted in an automobile with a m slide bearing. To provide a slide bearing having a performance that is at least equivalent to that of a roller bearing.[Solution] The slide bearing results from baking onto a back metal a sliding layer of 5-60 wt % graphite having an average diameter of 5-50 μm and a graphitization degree of at least 0.6, the remainder comprising a polyimide resin and/or a polyamide-imide resin. The form of the graphite has: (a) an average shape factor (YAVE) as defined of 1-4 for the particles excluding the minute particles that are no greater than 0.5 times the average diameter, and there being at least 70% by number of particles having a shape factor (Y) in the range of 1-1.5; or (b) graphite particles having a particle ratio of at least 0.5 being at least 50% of the total by number.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a lubrication device comprising a solid lubricant disposed between and in contact with a first electrode and a second electrode dimensioned and arranged such that application of an electric potential between the first electrode and the second electrode sufficient to produce an electric arc between the first electrode and the second electrode to produce a plasma in an ambient atmosphere at an ambient pressure which vaporizes at least a portion of the solid lubricant to produce a vapor stream comprising the solid lubricant. Methods to lubricate a surface utilizing the lubrication device in-situ are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A solid stick composition for use on steel surfaces that are in sliding or rolling-sliding contact. The solid stick composition comprises a vinyl ester resin, for example, from about 20 to about 80 weight percent vinyl ester resin, a solid lubricant, for example from about 0 to about 80 weight percent lubricant, and optionally a friction modifier, for example from about 0 to about 40% weight percent friction modifier, or a combination of a solid lubricant and a friction modifier. The solid stick comprises at least one of the lubricant or the friction modifier. A method of controlling friction between a metal surface and a second metal surface by applying the solid stick composition to one or more than one of the metal surfaces is also disclosed as well as a method of reducing lateral force in a rail system comprising applying the solid stick composition onto a wheel or rail surface.
