Publication number: 20140038861Abstract: A friction material composition may include an abrasive, a filler, a binder, and a spherical molybdenum disulfide powder. The spherical molybdenum disulfide powder is made up of molybdenum disulfide sub-particles that are agglomerated together to form individual, substantially spherically-shaped agglomerated particles of at least about 90% by weight molybdenum disulfide.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2013Publication date: February 6, 2014Applicant: CLIMAX ENGINEERED MATERIALS, LLCInventors: Yakov Epshteyn, Carl V. Cox, Matthew C. Shaw

Publication number: 20140024563Abstract: Anti-wear surface coatings and methods for making them are provided. Such anti-wear surface coatings are particularly suitable for use in a compressor, such as a scroll or rotary compressor. A precursor powder material can be applied via spraying to a wear surface of a metal component of the scroll or rotary compressor. The precursor powder material comprises a powderized thermoplastic polymer (e.g., PEEK), a first lubricant particle (e.g., molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)) and a second lubricant particle (e.g., polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)), which is heated to form a substantially uniform coating covering the underlying metal component having a thickness of less than or equal to about 0.006 inches (about 152 ?m). The anti-wear surface coating can be used on a face seal for a bellows-type shaft seal for compressors.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2013Publication date: January 23, 2014Inventors: Matthew J. Heidecker, Jean-Luc M. Caillat

Publication number: 20140005083Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention may provide textured surfaces to be lubricated, the texturing to enhance the effectiveness of the intended nano-lubrication. The texturing may make asperities and depressions in the surface to be lubricated. This texturing may be executed, for example, by chemical etching, laser etching, or other techniques. This texturing may create locations in the lubricated surface to hold or anchor the intended nano-lubricants, to facilitate the creation of a tribo-film on the surface when the lubricated surface is used under pressure, and resulting in delivery of multiple chemistries from the nano-lubricant.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2013Publication date: January 2, 2014Applicant: NanoMech, Inc.Inventor: Ajay P. Malshe
