Effects of Curing Temperature and Time on Corrosion Resistance, Wear Life, Adhesion and Completeness of Cure of Sandstrom Solid Film Lubricant Number 9A

摘要

The effect of curing temperature and time on a heat cured solid film lubricant (SFL) were investigated using accelerated corrosion and wear tests. Surface preparation and quality control inspections were also checked. Air cured SFL's were evaluated for corrosion resistance and wear life. A compromise between corrosion resistance and wear life must be made when selecting curing temperature and time for heat cured SFL. Air cured SFL's showed very poor corrosion resistance and wear life. (Author)
