WS2 Dry Lube – High Quality Lubricants That Give Sound Protection

 


WS2 Dry Lube

Tungsten Disulfide or  WS2 Dry Lube is a high quality lubricant that can be sprayed or applied as a paste to the material which needs protection of a lubricant while it is working. It is most suitable for machinery that has to work in  conditions bound by  extreme temperature and pressure. If you look into the molecular structure of Tungsten Disulfide you will find it to have hexagonally arranged tungsten atoms which are on top of hexagonally arranged sculpture atoms. The structure gives it a very low coefficient of friction, hence it gives an excellent output when it is used as a means of lubricating two sliding surfaces.

Key Areas Of WS2 Dry Lube Applications

The manufacture of Tungsten Disulfide  is carried out using CVT, also known as Chemical Vapor Transport crystallization. Out of the many types of lubricant substances, it stands on top for its ability to give lubrication and even is capable of overtaking Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2) or Graphite in this quality. As of now it is the most lubricious substance owing to the weak bond existing between atoms in its lattice structure. Here is a look at some key applications that make use of WS2 Dry Lube:

• Valve components
• Knives
• Racing car engine
• Blades
• Precision gears
• Aerospace parts
• Cutting tools

If you look at its temperature resistance, it stands between 450 deg F to 1200 deg F, under normal environment but in a vacuum environment, it is between 305 deg F  to 2400º F. when it is coated, the load bearing capacity of the film is 300,000 psi, which is very high.  When a coating of Tungsten Disulfide is applied to machinery parts, it will get 0.03 dynamic and 0.07 static coefficient of friction.

The easiest way to use it as a lubricant is to spray it on moving parts using dry pneumatic air and not any binders. The spray can be carried out in normal room temperature and desired lubrication can be obtained. The prime need for this dry lubricant is to improve the performance of moving parts, preventing them from getting worn out due to friction. It also enhances their load bearing ability for longer cycles.

Know About Cerium Oxide powder and Its Applications

Image
Cerium oxide powder | Image Resource : warm-glass.co.uk There are some metals on the Earth that are quite rare, and one of them is Cerium. This rare metal is found in minerals like bastnasite, synchysite, zircon, allanite, hydroxyl bastnasite , monazite, and rhabdophane. The oxide of this metal is quite useful and is known as cerium dioxide, cerium oxide, ceria, or simply as ceric oxide. It is basically a yellowish white powder.  The powdered form of cerium oxide is produced through the processes called calcination. Cerium hydroxide or cerium oxalate is used for this process. Cerium Oxide powder is somewhat hygroscopic in nature , and it also imbibes a little amount of carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere.  More About Cerium Oxide Powder  The nano form of cerium oxide often exhibits yellow color, which may get darker sometimes. The synthesis of cerium oxide nano particles can be done through the process of precipitation. In this process, cerium nitrate is used as

Silica Nano Particles Are Replacing Others Because Of Easy Availability!

Silica is an element which most of the easily available on the surface of earth. The sand and the soil we step on are made of nothing but silica. All that needs to be done is purify this sand and get the element. This is one of the main reasons nano particles of silica is replacing all other majorly used nano particles.  Silica is used in various electronic appliances due to its semi conductor properties. Silica Nano Particles are replacing other nano catalysts, metallic or otherwise. The catalytic properties of nano sized silica particles are higher over the others due to coverage or large surface area and inertness of participation in the chemical reactions. Silica Nano Particles Are Making A Name In The Bio Technical Felid! Silica particles are being continuously researched to check how they can be adapted in the field of cellular functions. The most recent discoveries made showed that they can be used to negate some of the cellular activities. They can also be used t

Why is it Beneficial to Use Ball Bearing Rollers in Industries?

Image
With the development in technology, new innovation emerged out to increase convenience of human kind. This paved its way to the development of many machineries and gadgets. A bearing is a part of any machinery or gadget that helps to reduce friction between the parts.   Ball Bearing Rollers | Image Resource : indiamart.com The relative motion of metals will lead to friction and will result in fast wear and tear of machines. Ball bearings are types of bearing that play a significant role in supporting the parts of machinery move or roll with minimal friction. This helps in the smooth functioning of the machine with high efficiency and speed. With the ability to reduce friction when in motion, the ball bearings are used widely in many applications in industries. A ball bearing a rolling part consists of an inner and outer ring that is separated by a series of rotating spherical balls. This helps to reduce friction loads are applied whether it is a radial load or
