The protection mechanism of dry film lubricant on the friction surface is a complex and delicate process, which involves the role of multiple aspects, which together ensure the efficient and long-lasting lubrication of the friction surface.
Dry film lubricant adheres the lubricating components evenly to the friction surface through a specific coating process, such as spraying, brushing or dipping. As the water evaporates or the solvent evaporates, these lubricating components will form a strong and long-lasting lubricating film on the friction surface. This lubricating film is the basis of the dry film lubricant's protection mechanism. It can quickly fill the tiny unevenness of the friction surface during the friction process and form a smooth lubricating interface.
Special additives in dry film lubricant, such as solid lubricants (such as polytetrafluoroethylene PTFE) and anti-wear agents, can play a key role in the friction process. These additives can significantly reduce the friction coefficient, thereby reducing friction resistance and reducing wear. By reducing friction and wear, dry film lubricant can extend the service life of equipment and improve operating efficiency.
During the friction process, there are often tiny unevenness on the friction surface. The lubricating components in dry film lubricant can quickly fill these tiny unevenness and form a smooth lubricating interface. This smoothing effect not only reduces friction resistance, but also reduces the heat and noise generated by friction, thereby improving the operating stability and reliability of the equipment.
Additives such as anti-wear agents and rust inhibitors in dry film lubricant can significantly improve the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the friction surface. These additives can form a protective layer during the friction process to prevent wear and corrosion of metal parts caused by friction. By improving the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the friction surface, dry film lubricant can further extend the service life of the equipment.
Dry film lubricant has excellent high and low temperature resistance and can maintain a stable lubricating effect in extreme temperature environments. This performance enables dry film lubricant to work normally in harsh environments of high temperature and high pressure or low temperature and low pressure, providing reliable lubrication protection for the equipment.
The lubricating layer formed by dry film lubricant has extremely high adhesion and durability. It can firmly adhere to the friction surface and is not easy to fall off or wear. This durability ensures that dry film lubricant can continue to play a lubricating and protective role during long-term use.
Dry film lubricant is also non-toxic, odorless and environmentally friendly, meeting the environmental protection requirements of modern industry. During use, dry film lubricant will not produce harmful substances or pollute the environment. At the same time, dry film lubricant also has excellent safety performance and can be used safely in various environments without causing harm to operators and equipment.
The protection mechanism of dry film lubricant on the friction surface is a comprehensive and complex process, involving the formation of lubricating layer, reduction of friction coefficient, filling and smoothing of small unevenness, improvement of wear resistance and corrosion resistance, maintenance of high temperature and low temperature resistance, durability of protective layer, environmental protection and safety. These mechanisms work together to ensure that dry film lubricant can provide efficient and long-lasting lubrication protection for the friction surface.
