Abstract:
A lubricating oil composition which is excellent not only in low-temperature properties, oxidative stability, lubricity at high temperatures, and energy saving but in low-temperature handleability; and a viscosity modifier for lubricating oils which is used in the lubricating oil composition. The viscosity modifier is characterized by comprising a copolymer of (i) ethylene, (ii) an a-olefin having three or more carbon atoms, and (iii) a higher a-olefin in which the number of carbon atoms is 4 to 20 and is larger by at least one than that of the a-olefin having three or more carbon atoms, the copolymer being an ethylene/a-olefin copolymer (B) having the following properties (1) and (2): (1) the content of units derived from ethylene (i) is 40 to 80 wt.%, the content of units derived from the a-olefin having three or more carbon atoms (ii) is 15 to 59 wt.%, and the content of units derived from the higher a-olefin having 4 to 20 carbon atoms (iii) is 0.1 to 25 wt.% (the sum is 100 wt.%) and (2) the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) determined by GPC is 80,000 to 400,000 in terms of polystyrene.
Abstract:
Iron-based metallurgical powder compositions are produced by mixing iron-based powder with an improved binder/lubricant that comprises dibasic organic acid and one or more additional components such as solid polyethers, liquid polyethers, and acrylic resin. These novel binder/lubricants impart one or more enhanced green properties to the powder compositions and reduce the ejection force required to remove the compositions from molds and dies.
Abstract:
An effective lubricant for cold working of metals is provided by a combination of a water soluble copolymer of styrene with maleic anhydride, maleic acid, and/or an ammonium or substituted ammonium maleate salt with an ethoxylated alcohol, preferably an alcohol with at least 40 carbon atoms before ethoxylation and about 50 % of its mass in the polyoxyethylene block in the molecule.
Abstract:
Novel lubricant mixtures are disclosed having unexpectedly high viscosity indices. The mixtures are blends of high viscosity index polyalphaolefins prepared with activated chromium on silica catalyst and polyalphaolefins prepared with BF3, aluminum chloride, or Ziegler-type catayst. Superior blends are also prepared from HVI &upbar& XPAO with mineral oil and/or other synthetic liquid lubricants.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a threaded portion of a tubular element for a threaded tubular connection hiving an axis of revolution, the portion comprising a threading extending over its outer or inner peripheral surface, and a first sealing surface on the peripheral surface, the first sealing surface being capable of producing metal-metal interference with a corresponding second sealing surface belonging to a complementary threaded portion of a tube. The threading and the first sealing surface are coated with a metallic anti-corrosion and anti-galling layer wherein zinc (Zn) is tie major element by weight.
Abstract:
