Abstract: Particulate lubricants are disclosed which comprise discrete particles of a fatty monoamide, especially oleamide and discrete particles of at least one other powder metallurgy lubricant, which provide a synergistic free-flowing composition; there are also provided novel compositions of matter for forming sintered metal components comprising a mixture of sinterable powdered metal and the particulate lubricants.
Abstract: Boric acid-containing lubricants are disclosed which consist essentially of boric acid and at least one other powder metallurgy lubricant and provide a synergistic free-flowing composition. There are also provided novel compositions of matter for forming sintered metal components comprising a mixture of sinterable, powdered metal and the said lubricants.

Abstract: A lubricant composition for drawing metal wire comprises a lubricant which may be particulate, liquid or semi-liquid and discrete microcapsules having a liquid core, which enhances the wire drawing agent; in particular the liquid core may be an extreme pressure additive or an anti-wear additive; the liquid is released by rupture of the microcapsules in the die so that the liquid is released at the site where it is required.
