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:
A process for the in-situ formation of a lubricating phase comprising sulphur and tin in a friction material, wherein reaction of a sulphur source with a tin source in said friction material results in the formation of said lubricating phase, and wherein said reaction is initiated or effected by heat resulting, in use, from the generation of friction, wherein said sulphur source is selected from one or both of sulphur and/or a metal sulphide selected from one or more of iron, copper, zinc, titanium and bismuth, and wherein said tin source is selected from one or more of tin, a tin-containing compound and/or a tin-containing alloy.
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.
Abstract:
A lubricant composition useful for hot plastic working of metal material comprises 100 parts by weight of graphite particles and 2 to 100 parts by weight of particles of at least one metal oxide selected from oxides of Sn, Pb, Zn, Ca, Cu and Al and having an average size of 0.01 to 20.0 .mu.m.
Abstract:
A squeeze casting powdery mold releasing agent according to this invention consists of a granulated or powdery mixture of a lubricant, an organic polymer and a metal soap; wherein the lubricant is coated with the organic polymer or the metal soap. Therefore, the mold releasing agent allows productions of castings of high quality, in a squeeze casting work, with good workability and without worsening environmental situations.
Abstract:
A method for treating the phosphate sludge waste from phosphate conversion baths used in the metal forming and metal working industry is described whereby the phosphate sludge is completely converted into a lubricant additive which can be used in lubricant formulations for the metal forming and metal working industry as well as general purpose lubricants. By operation of this process, waste treatment and waste disposal problems associated with the phosphate sludge are essentially eliminated. Various dry-soap lubricant formulations, warm forming lubricant formulations, non-reactive lubricant formulations, and metal precoat formulations containing the recovered or recycled phosphate sludge additive are described. The lime normally contained in many of these lubricant formulations can be significantly reduced or essentially eliminated by using the recovered phosphate sludge additive of this invention, thereby resulting in improved lubricant formulations. The recovered phosphate sludge is especially useful as an Extreme Pressure Additive.
Abstract:
A process for coating a machine part surface wherein the surface is cleaned, abraded and treated so as to render the surface directly bondable to a resin-bonded lubricant coating. A powder coating containing resin and resin-bondable lubricant then is directly applied to the treated machine part surface and cured so as to cross-link the resin.
Abstract:
A novel lubrication blend useful per se as a lubricant or as an additive to form a novel lubricant composition. The lubrication blend consists essentially of a mixture of: (1) at least one complex sulfide of antimony, represented by the formula:Sb.sub.x S.sub.ywherein, x is a number in the range from about 1.7 to about 2.3, and y is a number in the range from about 3.6 to about 4.4, (2) at least one antimony oxide, and (3) at least one lamellar crystalline solid lubricant.
