  • Patent number: 7381346
    Abstract: A thermal interface material is for being applied to the contact surfaces to eliminate the air interstices between the heat dissipating apparatus and the electronic component in order to improve heat dissipation of the electronic component. The thermal interface material includes pentaerythritol oleate as base oil and fillers filled in the pentaerythritol oleate for improving the heat conductivity of the thermal interface material. The pentaerythritol oleate is used for holding the fillers therein and filling the air interstices to achieve an intimate contact between the heat dissipating apparatus and the electronic component. The fillers include aluminum powders, zinc oxide powders and zinc oxide nano-particles.

    Abstract: In a lubricant composition suitable for use in the manufacture of aluminum alloys comprising lubricant base selected from the group consisting of solid lubricants, liquid lubricants, grease lubricants, emulsion lubricants, and dispersion lubricants, the improvement wherein the lubricant composition further comprises: an effective amount of water and surfactant. It is believed that mixing oil with water and surfactant provides a method for uniformly distributing the surface oxide at the meniscus for casting applications. Uniform distribution of the oxide at the meniscus reduces vertical fold formation that can lead to cracks in the aluminum ingot. In addition, the mixture promotes uniform heat transfer around the mold. Uniform heat transfer around the mold allows the solidifying aluminum alloy to stay in contact with the mold longer and form stronger ingot shells. A process for continuous or semi-continuous casting of aluminum alloys via the use of this lubricant composition is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 7202197
    Abstract: A method is shown for producing stable, non-settling calcium hydroxide slurries with defined solids, viscosity, reactivity, and particle size. A traditional hydrated lime is first blended with an organic solvent. The hydrated lime and organic solvent blend is then wet-milled in a media mill. The resulting slurries can be used in applications where the addition of aqueous calcium hydroxide slurries would be a disadvantage such as in the production of solvent based oils, greases and lubrication products. The process can also be used to produce stable, non-settling, ultra-fine particles of calcium oxide in organic solvents, where fine particles are needed for processing in organic matrices.

    Abstract: A waterborne lubricant, useful in the plastic working of metals, which imparts a lubricating behavior to the surface of metals in the absence of a conversion coating contains (A) water-soluble inorganic salt, (B) lubricating agent selected from molybdenum disulfide and graphite, and (C) wax wherein these components are dissolved or dispersed in water, the (B)/(A) solids weight ratio is 1.0 to 5.0, and the (C)/(A) solids weight ratio is 0.1 to 1.0. The water-soluble inorganic salt (A) can be selected from the sulfates, silicates, borates, molybdates, and tungstates. The wax (C) can be a water-dispersed natural or synthetic wax having a melting point of 70 to 150° C. A lubricating coating is formed by application to give a post-drying add-on of 0.5 to 40 g/m2. A method for using said lubricant is also provided.

  • Patent number: 6589919
    Abstract: A powdery mold-releasing lubricant according to the present invention uses a powdery mixture of a powdery organic material, which is evaporated or decomposed by heating to generate a gas, and a powdery inorganic material. A gas-solid mixed layer formed with the gas generated from the powdery mixture and the powdery inorganic material is used as a heat-insulating boundary layer. The powdery mold-releasing lubricant is inexpensive and has a superior mold lubricity.

  • Patent number: 6376433
    Abstract: A two- or a one-step process and composition which coats metal workpiece surfaces (aluminum, copper, steel, stainless steel, etc.) with a thin lubricant film capable of allowing the metal to be deformed at room temperature. The lubricant consists essentially of polymers, dispersants, high molecular weight waxes and insoluble metallic stearates. With some ferrous surfaces, a separate coating layer is simultaneously formed (in the one-step process) or pre-formed (in the two-step process) at the metal interface, acting as a base for the lubricant. The process, after pickling in a mineral acid to remove scale and oxides, comprises the step(s) of immersing the workpiece either once or twice. The workpiece is then dried in a heated, forced air dryer.
