Polyalphaolefin (PAO) lubricants, commonly known as synthetic oils, play a vital role across industries due to their ability to withstand extreme temperatures and provide excellent lubrication. However, challenges exist in several key areas. In boundary lubrication scenarios, where the lubricant film is thin or nonexistent, PAO lubricants may struggle to provide sufficient protection, leading to […]
Lubrication in Crucial Foundry Equipment At the heart of the foundry industry lies a realm of intense heat, heavy machinery, and relentless operations. To ensure seamless production processes and extended equipment lifespan, effective lubrication is paramount. Enter MoS2 grease – a game-changer in foundry lubrication, offering unparalleled protection against wear, corrosion, and the hassle of […]
What is MoS2 Molybdenum Di Sulfide or MoS2 is a layered material, with each layer consisting of a nano thin sheet of molybdenum atoms which are sandwiched between two nano sheets of sulfur atoms. The layers are held together by weak van der Waals forces, allowing them to easily slide over each other. How MoS2 works as lubricant? Formation of Boundary Lubricating Films: During working […]
