Abstract
Abstract of the Disclosure This invention relates to solid lubricants, in specific combinations, which give unique properties for specific lubrication applications. For example, solid lubricant combinations such as graphite, zinc sulfide, calcium fluoride and molybdenum disulfide when incorporated in an epoxy binder, give good bonded lubricant coatings.
Description
~ 8672 The present invention relates to the field of solid lubricants.
Solid lubricants are being used more and more `
in modern lubricating technology in order to overcome the increasing demands for improved properties, for example, to avoid or minimize specific conditions at friction points. Such solid lubricants are not only being used in the common method of applying them in powder form to a surface, but they are also being used in oil-based lubricants and greases and as bonded coatings.
There have beeff instances when such solid lubricants have been incorporated in plastics or metals in order to maXe self-lubricating surfaces.
In addition to the now amiliar solid -lubricants, molybdenum disulfide and graphite, a whole ;
series of wideIy varying chemical compounds consisting of hydroxides, oxides, sulfides, fluorides and phosphates ' has been studied and utilized in the solid lubricant technology.
Such known lubricants can be found, for instance, ;~
in U.S. Patent No. 3,377,279. Such solid lubricants are described as graphite, sulfides of metals from Group II
of the periodic system of elements~ particularly zinc sulfide and cadmium sulfide and inorganic fluorides such as calcium fluoride and cryolite. Those solid lubricants are then treated with lnorganic anions, the whole purpose `
of the treatment being to give enhanced adhesion of the .
lubricant to the surface.
Essentially the same solid lubricants are ` 30 referred to again in U.S. Patent No. 3,453,209 as being '.
~ `~
~68672 :,~; `
useful lubricating materials for use with metal-forming dies such as presses, forges and drop hammers. It is noted that the composition consists of a solid lubricant and a material which evolves gas under those operating ~`
conditions.
Finally, in U.S. Patent No. 3,808,130, essentially the same solid lubricants are again set forth as part of compositions including perfluoroalkylene polymers and -~
epoxy resins, which are useful in preparing self-lubricating bearings and other machine elements. The object of that , invention is to produce large numbers of self-lubricating parts with` excellent precision and low dimensional change. - -In order to accomplisll this object, the U.S.
Patent No. 3,808,130 speaks of using compositions which contain "... inorganic solid materials... of at ~
least one and preferably two solid lubricants." Thus, ~' `
it is known from such patent that solid lubricants !'~':"' ' ' ` ` ;'' can be used in conjunction with the perfluoroalkylene polymer and epoxy resin in preparing self-lubricating materials.
l~hat the 3,808,130 patent does not teach or ~ ~`
make obvious, however, is that certain combinations of ` -solid lubricants in specific ratios, without the aid of the perfluoroalkylene polymers, have synergistic ; :
lubricating effects which give high load carrying ~ -capacities and reduced wear and friction.
It is, therefore, an object of this invention to provide lubricant compositions which consist of certain ~ -solid lubricants in specific ratios to give enhanced -~
lubricating properties which allow high load carrying

1~6~3672 three-component system of 50 percent graphite with the :~
remainder of varying quantities of zinc sulfide and .`
calcium fluoride acts synergistically, whereby the best wear is obtained from a solid lubricant combination of 50 percent by weight graphite, 40 percent by weight zinc sulfide and 10 percent by weight calcium fluoride.

The solid lubricant combinations were prepared as shown in Table II
The above combinations and their pure individual components are made into pastes each con~aining 60 percent by weight solid lubricant combinations or individual solid lubricant and 40 percent by weight oil having lubricating oil viscosity, the pastes being given a uniform viscosity ;~ :
by adding 1 percent by weight of a thickener ~based on ~::
the silicon dioxide). The friction values of these pastes are then determined on the LFW-4 testing machine ~see .
