Abstract
Provided are metallic sulfide coated travelers, particularly tungsten disulfide coated travelers, methods of forming metallic sulfide coated travelers, and systems for use of metallic sulfide coated travelers. The metallic sulfide coating results in reduced yarn loading on the coated travelers, reduced heat generation during the spinning operation, and reduced wear of the traveler.
Claims22
A textile spinning traveler or spinning ring comprising:
- a base material, and
- a metallic sulfide coating, wherein the metallic sulfide coating directly coats the base material.
A textile spinning traveler or spinning ring comprising:
- a base material,
- an undercoat layer deposited on the base material, and
- a metallic sulfide coating deposited on the undercoat layer, wherein the metallic sulfide coating comprises tungsten disulfide.
A textile spinning traveler or spinning ring comprising:
- a base material,
- a binder deposited on the base material, and
- a metallic sulfide material, wherein the metallic sulfide material comprises tungsten disulfide.
A system for spinning yarn on a bobbin comprising:
- a bobbin,
- a spinning ring positioned around the bobbin, and
- a traveler disposed along the spinning ring, wherein the traveler comprises a base material and a metallic sulfide coating, wherein the metallic sulfide coating directly coats the base material.
A method of preparing a metallic sulfide coated traveler or spinning ring comprising:
- applying metallic sulfide on the traveler or spinning ring to prepare a coated traveler or coated spinning ring.
