THE FEASIBILITY OF THE USE OF LIQUID-METAL FUSIONS AS LUBRICANTS,

Abstract

The use of fusions of low-melting metals as lubricants in sliding bearings and worm reduction gears is proposed in this article. Such use of fusions will enable us to eliminate the special cooling devices used at the present time for cooling friction components in high-temperature installation lubricated with mineral oil, and to considerably increase the efficiency of friction pairs.
