Abstract
A two-phase structured lubricant includes a liquid component about 5% by weight (wt. %) to 95 wt. %, and a structural component about 5 wt. % to 95 wt. %. The structural component recrystallizes or solidifies around the liquid component.
Claims20
A two-phase structured lubricant, comprising:
- a liquid component about 5% by weight (wt. %) to 79 wt. %;
- and
- a structural component about 21 wt. % to 95 wt. %, wherein the structural component recrystallizes or solidifies around the liquid component.
A method of making a two-phase structured lubricant, comprising:
- mixing and heating a liquid component and a structural component, wherein the liquid component is about 5 wt. % to 79 wt. % of the two-phase structured lubricant;
- mixing a structured component with the heated liquid component, wherein and the structural component is about 21 wt. % to 95 wt. % of the two-phase structured lubricant;
- melting the structural component and mixing with the liquid component to form a homogenous mixture;
- and
- cooling the homogeneous mixture to form the two-phase structured lubricant.

A method of assembling a system using a two-phase structured lubricant, comprising:
- applying the two-phase structured lubricant during assembling of the system, wherein the two-phase structured lubricant comprises:
- a liquid component about 5% by weight (wt. %) to 95 wt. %;
- and
- a structural component about 5 wt. % to 95 wt. %, wherein the structural component recrystallizes or solidifies around the liquid component;
- and
- after the system is assembled, applying a standard lubricant to displace the two-phase structured lubricant from the assembled system.
