Definitions

  • Combustion engines such as those within automobiles, lawn mowers, engine-generators, and other machines, contain parts which move against each other causing friction. Friction wastes otherwise useful power by converting kinetic energy to heat. It also wears away the moving parts, which could lead to lower efficiency and degradation of the engine. Thus, continuous friction in an engine may lead to an increase in fuel consumption, decrease in power output, and can lead to engine failure.
  • Lubricating compositions, greases, and other fluids are commonly used in combustion engines to protect the engine by reducing wear on the moving parts.
  • Lubricants create a separating film between surfaces of adjacent moving parts to minimize direct contact between them, thereby decreasing heat caused by friction and reducing wear, thus protecting the engine.
  • Lubricants also clean, inhibit corrosion, improve sealing, and cool the engine by carrying heat away from the moving parts.
  • lubricants are generally composed of a base oil plus a variety of additives to improve certain properties. Some of the benefits of additives include increasing viscosity, increasing detergency to minimize sludge buildup, improving extreme pressure (EP) performance, increasing resistance to corrosion and oxidation, and decreasing contamination.

Abstract

Cette invention concerne des compositions pour lubrifiants et leurs procédés de production à l'aide de particules de poudre de bismuth sphériques et de poudre de cuivre sphériques. Dans au moins un mode de réalisation, le lubrifiant comprend une huile de base, une graisse, une poudre de cuivre, comprenant au moins une particule sphérique, et une poudre de bismuth, comprenant au moins une particule sphérique. Le lubrifiant peut être utilisé à titre d'huile de moteur, d'huile d'engrenages, de lubrifiant de type graisse, ou de lubrifiant à pulvériser. Quand le lubrifiant est appliqué à un moteur à combustion interne, la chaleur et la pression régnant à l'intérieur du moteur compriment le lubrifiant pour imprégner la surface interne du moteur de particules de poudre de cuivre et de bismuth. Quand ils sont utilisés dans des moteurs à combustion interne, les lubrifiants décrits manifestent une exceptionnelle résistance à l'usure, améliorent la consommation d'essence, allongent les intervalles de temps requis pour les changements d'huile, et réduisent également les émissions d'échappement du moteur.
