Abstract:
The application of carbon fluoride chloride in dry lubricant compositions is disclosed. The material offers a substantial improvement in lubricating properties over prior art carbon fluoride dry lubricants.The improved lubricant is comprised of carbon fluoride chloride of the general formula (C.sub.y F.sub.x Cl.sub.z).sub.n wherein y is 1 or 2, x is greater than 0 to 1.2, z is 0.1 and n defines an infinitely large two dimensional array of repeating units occurring in this molecule of high molecular weight. The resulting lubricant has improved lubricating properties over graphite, MoS.sub.2 and carbon monofluoride.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the well drilling field in petroleum industry, in particular to a nano-hybrid lubricant and method thereof, and oil-based drilling fluid. The lubricant comprises: graphite oxide and a biquaternary ammonium salt compound of which the cation part is represented by formula (1). The present invention also provides a method for preparation of the lubricant and an oil-based drilling fluid containing the lubricant. The lubricant provided in the present invention can be comprehended as a nano-hybrid material. Thus, oil-based drilling fluids that contain the lucbricant provided in the present invention have lower lubrication coefficient and excellent lubricating property without or with little negative impact on rheological property of the oil fluid, and the lubricant provided in the present invention has excellent thermostability thus suitable for use in operation at a high temperature.

[Task]In a sliding member comprising a substrate and a coating layer provided thereon, the coating layer has a sliding surface and is formed of a resin-based coating and particles of a solid lubricant dispersed therein. The orientation ratio of (001) plane of the solid lubricant is enhanced.[Means for Solution]The coating layer of a sliding layer has an average thickness of 3 μm or less. The particles of the solid lubricant have 2 μm or more of an average particle diameter as measured by the laser diffraction method. The solid lubricant dispersed has 90% or more of relative C-axis intensity ratio.
Abstract:
A method for lubricating a metal workpiece during a metalworking process includes delivering supercritical carbon dioxide to the workpiece during the metalworking process. The supercritical carbon dioxide acts as a lubricant, coolant, chip evacuator, and/or carrier for another lubricant or corrosion inhibitor.
Abstract:
A sliding film includes a solid lubricant, a binder resin, and a low-melting-point material. The binder resin is for holding the solid lubricant on a surface of a substrate, and exhibits a glass transition temperature. The low-melting-point material exhibits a melting point lower than the glass transition temperature of the binder resin. The low-melting-point material demonstrates a latent heat which can absorb frictional heat generated between sliding members, and accordingly retards the degradation of the binder resin. As a result, the sliding film produces high seizure resistance.
Abstract:
A low friction cam shaft for actuating at least one valve of an internal combustion engine includes a shaft member extending longitudinally, at least one cam secured to the shaft member, the cam being made of a plurality of density metal materials and having an outer surface impregnated with a solid film lubricant that has an affinity for oil and promotes rapid formation of a stable oil film to reduce friction therebetween.
Abstract:
A solid film lubricant system for protecting metal wear interfaces subject to high temperatures and wet lubrications, comprising an oil-attracting solid lubricant mixture with at least two elements selected from the group of graphite, MoS.sub.2 and BN; a support (i.e., hard lands or hard sublayer) for the mixture to loads of at least 10 psi at temperatures of 600.degree.-800.degree. F. while being thermally stable; a thermally stable thermoset polymer matrix adhering the mixture to the support or the wear surface, the polymer having inherent hydrocarbon chemical attraction to form a tenacious oil film of the lubricating oil on the wearing surface. A method of making anti-friction coated surfaces comprising providing a light metal based cylinder surface (i.e., metal base or alloys of aluminum, titanium, or magnesium); exposing nonoxidized metal of the surface; applying a high elastic modulus load-supporting metal layer onto at least portions of the light metal cylinder surface; and simultaneously distributing a solvent-based solid film lubricant mixture and thermoset polymer onto at least portions of the layer at about room temperature to form a coating of desired thickness. An engine block with one or more anti-friction coated cylinder bore surfaces, comprising a hard, load-supporting face on the bore surface; and a coating on the face comprised of an oil-attracting solid lubricant mixture and a thermoset polymer that supports loads of at least 10 psi at temperatures of 600.degree.-800.degree. F. and is stable at such temperatures.
