EFFECT OF CURE CONDITIONS ON WEAR LIFE AND CORROSION PROTECTION OF A RESIN-BONDED SOLID FILM LUBRICANT
Abstract
A resin-bonded solid film lubricant was applied to grit blasted steel, zinc phosphatized steel, and preheated zinc phosphatized steel. The coating was then cured at temperatures from 200 to 500 F for times ranging from 10 to 180 minutes. The effect of these cure conditions on wear life and corrosion protection were determined. The following information was obtained from this investigation: (1) Grit blasted steel is inferior to the other two substrates. (2) At cure temperatures above 300 F, the resin-bonded solid film lubricant does not prevent the loss of water of hydration from the zinc phosphate coating and the resultant loss in corrosion pro tection. (3) No one set of cure conditions gives optimum wear life and corrosion protection. (4) Wear life increase with increasing cure time and temperature. (5) Corrosion protection in creases with decreasing cure time and temperature. (6) Cure conditions depend on the application for which the resin-bonded solid film lubricant is to be used. (Author)
