Water-Based Solid Film Lubricants.
Abstract
This report presents the initial results of an investigation to develop high temperature 538 deg C (1000 deg F) and moderate temperature 260 deg C (500 deg F) range water-based solid film lubricants for naval aircraft applications. Lithium silicate films are shown to provide excellent water resistance compared to sodium silicate films; however, the poor permeability exhibited by lithium silicate films requires corrosion inhibition. An experimental strategy technique has been used to determine an optimum formulation for enhanced durability of this type of solid film lubricant. A significant increase in endurance life has been observed as a result of this approach. A limited investigation on the use of a water-dilutable organic resin bonded solid film lubricant is also reported. (Author)
