An Analysis of the Process of Applying Technical Lubricating Coatings
Source abstract
Abstract
The results of research on the process of applying lubricating coatings are presented in this work. For this purpose, plastic greases were used, in which the base oil is perfluoropolyether (PFPE) and the thickener is poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE). Due to their consistency, these materials are classified into different classes according to the National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI). The research was carried out using a time-pressure valve at varying atomization pressure values. Based on the obtained results, the width of the obtained material path and the angle of spray atomization were determined. The research indicated linear relationships between the atomization pressure and the degree of uniformity of the obtained spray.
