Abstract:
The present invention relates to a lubricating composition for forging in the form of a powder or a compacted powder including: one or more dicarboxylic acid(s) chosen among adipic acid, phthalic acid, isophthalic acid, terephthalic acid, sebacic acid, succinic acid and suberic acid; and one or more base(s) chosen among sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate and potassium bicarbonate, the dicarboxylic acid(s)/base(s) molar ratio ranging between 0.8 and 1.2.
Abstract:
Forge lubrication processes are disclosed. A solid lubricant sheet is placed between a workpiece and a die in a forging apparatus. Force is applied to the workpiece with the die to plastically deform the workpiece. The solid lubricant sheet decreases the shear friction factor for the forging system and reduces the incidence of die-locking.
Abstract:
A coating of a metal sheet or strip comprising a lubricant and a protective base material is provided. The lubricant is contained in the protective base material, and the protective base material is at least in part selectively removable. There is also provided a metal sheet or strip capable of forming, in particular of superplastic forming, and having a coating according to the invention at least partially on one or on both sides of the metal sheet and a method for manufacturing a metal sheet or strip according to the invention comprising the steps of providing a metal sheet or strip capable of forming, in particular of superplastic forming, and applying a coating according to the invention.
Abstract:
A piston for internal combustion engines has a skirt coating consisting of a wear resistant inner layer consisting of a polymer matrix having ceramic particles, aramide fibers and/or carbon fibers dispersed therein and an outer layer consisting of a polymer matrix having solid lubricants dispersed therein and an outer layer consisting of a polymer matrix having solid lubricants dispersed therein.
Abstract:
There is provided a sliding film formed on a surface of a member which slides relative to another member. The sliding film includes, a metal-doped tetrahedral amorphous carbon layer; and a surface layer that is formed on top of the metal-doped tetrahedral amorphous carbon layer and has a higher coefficient of kinetic friction than the metal-doped tetrahedral amorphous carbon layer.
Abstract:
The present invention aims to provide solid particles with improved lubrication, a solid lubricant including the solid particles, and a metal member including, on the surface thereof, the solid particles or the solid lubricant. The solid particles of the present invention include base particles and carbon fluoride particles attached to surfaces of the base particles.
Abstract:
A coated body includes a body (1) with a body surface (3) and a coating system (20) deposited on at least a portion of the body surface (3). The coating system (20) includes at least one hard friction reducing coating deposited as an outermost layer (9) which exhibits droplets (10) at its surface. The outermost layer (9) includes molybdenum copper nitride and/or molybdenum nitride and copper nitride, and at least some of the droplets (10) consist mainly of copper. Preferably most of the largest droplets (10) consist mainly of copper.

Abstract:
A protective agent for an image bearing member of an image forming apparatus. The protective agent is applied onto a surface of the image bearing member and includes a hydrophobic organic compound (A), an inorganic fine particle (B), and an inorganic lubricant (C).
Abstract:
Grease for a slide bearing, which can suppress unusual noise attributable to a slip caused between a shaft and a bearing when a machine is stopped. In slide bearing grease 24 supplied to between a slide bearing 16 formed of a porous sintered alloy-made bushing having pores 30 impregnated with lubricating oil 31 and a shaft 22 inserted in the slide bearing 16 and supported to be slidingly rotatable in the circumferential direction, the slide bearing grease 24 employs base oil having dynamic viscosity of 10-70 mm2/s at 40° C. and exuding under a load of the shaft 22 to form an oil film 35 between the slide bearing 16 and the shaft 22.
