Abstract: A water-soluble cutting fluid which is characterized by excellent cooling and lubricating properties and does not exert a harmful influence on the environment. A solution containing hydrogencarbonate ion, bromide ion, carbonic acid ion, and, if necessary, fluoride ion, and being adjusted to a pH of 7.0 to 11.5 can be used as a substitute for a cutting oil. A water-soluble cutting fluid further including additives such as rust-preventive agents and the like can be also used as a substitute for conventional cutting oil.

Abstract: A wet friction material with small initial variations in friction coefficient, suppressing occurrence of heat spots, and with excellent heat resistance and friction resistance is provided. In the wet friction material including a fiber base material, a filler, a friction controller, and a resin binder, the resin binder is a phenolic resin modified with p-nonyl phenol.

Abstract: Waterborne lubricants comprising: (A) water-soluble inorganic salt; (B) homogeneously dispersed solid lubricant; (C) at least one homogeneously emulsified substance selected from mineral oils, animal and plant oils and fats, and synthetic oils; (D) surfactant; and (E) water, in which the weight ratio (B)/(A) is from 0.05:1 to 2:1 and the weight ratio {C/(A+B)} is from 0.05:1 to 1:1, provide a one-step, highly lubricating waterborne lubricant for use in the cold plastic working of metals. This waterborne lubricant can replace the conversion coating treatment (phosphate, oxalate, etc.)+reactive soap treatment combined lubrication system now in general use and is free of the environmental issues associated with the combined lubrication system, provides for facile coating removal, and is not subject to the decline in seizure resistance caused by nonuniform add-on when large numbers of workpieces are treated together by immersion.

Abstract: A sealed pouch of a single layer polyolefin film having a thickness of from about 0.005 to 0.001 inch and a melting point below about 280.degree. F. which is soluble in a lubricating oil base. The pouch contains a solid lithium hydroxide or lithium fatty acid salt or mixtures thereof for use in preparing greases.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for mechanical working of metal and other solid materials with a cooling and lubricating composition containing a major portion of carbon dioxide and a minor portion of a polar lubricant containing at least one polar organic compound with at least one oxygen atom. The polar groups may be selected from the group consisting of the ether, hydroxyl, carboxyl, ester and amido group or mixtures thereof.

Abstract: A lubricating composition which may contain up to 70 weight percent abrasive grit material for use with wire saw and slicing apparatus for cutting or slicing hard and brittle materials. The composition contains abrasive particles suspended in a mixture of high and low molecular weight polyalkylene glycols and a suspension agent. The viscosity of the composition is about 50 to 700 cps.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for hitting an object in a substantially straight-line pathway. The method comprises the steps of applying a composition to a hitting surface and impacting the object. In particular, the composition can be applied to a golf club face to reduce hooks or slices. The composition is a product of a mixture comprising a saturated oil, a water soluble lubricant and an aqueous carbon dioxide solution.

Abstract: An aqueous belt lubricant composition comprising water and from 1.0 to 10 wt % of at least a fatty alkyl propylene tetramine, from 1.0 to 10 wt % of at least a fatty alcohol polygylcol ether, all percentages are based on the total weight of the aqueous belt lubricant composition, and at least one acid in an amount sufficient to establish a pH value between about 5.0 and about 7.0. The composition may further comprising one or more of alkoxylated fatty alkyl monoamines, alkoxylated fatty alkyl diamines and/or a solutizer.

Abstract: A grease composition comprising a base oil, a thickener selected from a metallic soap and a urea compound, and an inorganic filler having an average particle size of not greater than 2 .mu.m, and a rolling bearing having sealed therein a grease composition comprising a base oil, a urea thickener, and an inorganic filler having an average particle size of not greater than 2 .mu.m.
