Abstract
A process and material for treating metal handling and shaping devies with a material containing sub micron sized particles of graphite in a liquid carrier is described that forms a penetraring and lubricating coating on the metal handling and shaping devices so as to maintain a smooth surface condition capable of resisting adhesion of contaminates thereto and the build up of foreign materials thereon.
Claims10
A process of treating metal handling and shaping devices that consists essentially of the steps of cleaning said devices to the bare metal, penetrating a liquid suspension of submicron sized particles of graphite into said bare metal of the devices, said liquid suspension including at least 5% of 25% submicron sized particles of graphite, applying enough of said liquid suspension of graphite to build up smooth adhering and lubricating coating on said metal portions and building up sufficient excess of graphite on said devices to form a slick smooth surface, the size of said submicron particles of graphite being no larger than as determined by electron microscopy.
