Abstract
Metal, carbon or other surfaces, such as pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders, having scored or marred surfaces can be rehabilitated by applying to them a composition consisting essentially of a mixture of powdered molybdenum disulfide and epoxy resin, curing the resin, and removing excess material. The coating is as hard as steel, has lubricative action, and can withstand high temperatures.
Claims5
A lubricative composition for restoring damaged areas of surfaces of scored cylinders and pistons and the like consisting essentially of a mixture of 10% to 90% of powdered molybdenum disulfide of particle size no larger than 60 microns and 90% to 10% of an epoxy resin adhesive that cures at temperatures of about 250.degree. F. to 400.degree. F., said resin being a glycidyl ether of bisphenol-A containing a curing agent and having a Brookfield viscosity of 400,000 cps at 75.degree. .
A lubricative composition for restoring damaged areas of surfaces of scored cylinders and pistons and the like consisting essentially of a mixture of approximately equal amounts by volume of powdered molybdenum disulfide of particle size no larger than 60 microns and an epoxy resin adhesive that cures at temperatures of about 250.degree. F. to 400.degree. F., said resin being a glycidyl ether of bisphenol-A containing a curing agent and having a Brookfield viscosity of 400,000 cps at 75.degree., said composition being adapted to provide upon curing at a temperature of 250.degree. F to 400.degree. F. and for from 4 hours to 10 minutes, a product having a Rockwell hardness like that of mild steel and being able to withstand pressures of up to 16 tons per square inch and to withstand temperatures of up to 600.degree. F., while also being able to resist corrosion by hydraulic fluids and cleaning solvents.
