Abstract: A system and method for coating glass gobs with a liquid-based lubricating dispersion during their drop to blank glass container molds which provides sufficient lubrication to the glass container molds without requiring swabbing of the glass container molds. The lubricating dispersion is sprayed onto hot glass gobs as they fall from the gob supply system prior to their distribution by the gob distribution system into blank molds. The lubricating dispersion coats the falling glass gobs to lubricate the glass gobs as well as the molds.

Abstract: A process for converting carbon or carbonated compounds in a plasma into carbons having a defined nanostructure consists of a reaction chamber whose head part contains three electrodes, a plasma gas supply, and a carbon or carbonated compound supply. A process for preparing carbons having a defined nanostructure. Apparatus to carry out the processes.

Abstract: Lubricant composition for use on workpieces in the hot forming of metals, which contains:(a.sub.1) 0 to 80 percent by weight of a glass powder,(a.sub.2) 0 to 50 percent by weight of a glass frit whereby the content of at least one component (a.sub.1) or (a.sub.2) in the lubricant composition is not 0 percent by weight,(b) 10 to 25 percent by weight of natural or synthetic graphite,(c) 5 to 20 percent by weight of one or more alkali metal silicates of the general formula Me.sub.2 O.n SiO.sub.2, where Me is lithium, potassium or sodium and n is a number between 1 and 4,(d) 1 to 6 percent by weight of a water-soluble sodium polymetaphosphate,(e) 0 to 3 percent by weight of a water-insoluble sodium polymetaphosphate,(f) 0.5 to 4 percent by weight of a thickener, and(g) 0 to 1 percent by weight of borax.

Abstract: A lubricant composition comprising graphite, a clay mineral, and a silica sol or a potassium aluminum silicate. The lubricant composition is suitable for preventing carburization in the production of seamless pipes.
