Surface protective additives

To protect the surface of unalloyed carbon steel, an additional surface protection must be applied. This protection usually takes the form of an antirust paint or other type of paint protection formulated for resistance against a specific t3 e of contaminant known to be present in the area. On occasion, plastic or metallic coatings are used. 

In the manufacture of articles direct from latex it is necessary to stabilise the latex (to prevent premature coagulation) by the addition of protective colloids such as casein soaps, gelatine and proprietary anionic surface active agents. 

The solubility of wax in vulcanised rubbers is low (of the order of 0.5% for NR) but enough wax has to be added to a rubber compound to ensure that once the compound has been vulcanised and the rubber cools, the rate of migrational movement of the wax from the rubber mass to the surface of the rubber is rapid. Dependant upon the application, the addition level of wax can be up to about 10 phr. Migration of the wax to the rubber surface will also carry other ingredients such as antioxidants, antiozonants and other materials (e.g., vulcanisation residuals), to enhance the surface protection. 

The aforementioned requirements on surface stability are typical for all exposed areas of the metallic interconnect, as well as other metallic components in an SOFC stack e.g., some designs use metallic frames to support the ceramic cell. In addition, the protection layer for the interconnect or in particular the active areas that... 

It was also found that cross-linking, which occurs at pressures accessible on aluminum, causes the films to become harder than aluminum. Thus, on aluminum surfaces, one could expect the films to act as abrasives that will induce wear, as has been observed in sliding experiments. The authors of the study suggested that the inability of ZDDP additives to protect aluminum surfaces from wear may be caused by the pressure-induced stiffening of the film.

This property can be improved by the addition of antioxidants. Higher zinc oxide loadings increase resistance to heat ageing. Paraffin wax offers surface protection by blooming to the surface during curing. Low sulphur or sulphurless cure improves heat ageing considerably. 

A) Surface protective additives (i) antiwear (AW)/extreme-pressure (or temperature) improver (EP), (ii) anticorrosion and rust inhibitor, (iii) detergent and dispersant, and (iv) friction modifier. Examples of protective additives are listed in Table 2.4. 

Additives In the Table 2.4 Commonly used additives , lubricant additives have been separated into three main functional groups (a) surface protective additives, (b) performance additives and (c) lubricant protective additives. List those lubricant additives that exhibit more than one of the listed functions. 

The next chapter is a review of current practice in lubrication of internal combustion engines and lubricant design. The role of individual lubricant components and their use in mineral and synthetic formulations is covered. This is followed by a discussion of the tribochemical effects of additive interactions. The heart of the manuscript is chapters, "Tribochemical nature of antiwear film , "Surface tribochemistry and activated processes", and "Analytical techniques in lubricating practices". Topics covered include tribofilm formation, organomolybdenum compounds in surface protection, catalytic activity of rubbing surfaces, introduction of some techniques for evaluation of tribofilms composition and analytical techniques for evaluation of lubricant degradation. Examples of the application of basic concepts are introduced, eg., acidity and basicity in the process of lubricant deterioration. 

Metallic Pigments. These pigments are metal flakes of various sizes made up of aluminum, copper, zinc, and/or their alloys. The aluminum flakes develop the silver metallic colors, whereas the copper, zinc, and aluminum alloys produce the gold, copper, brass, and bronze colors. The metal effect is modified, not only by shape and size, but also by perticle size distribution within a given product. Since aluminum, in particular, as a fine dry powder, can form explosive mixtures with air, most of these materials are commercially available in paste or liquid concentrates. In addition, surface treatments of these materials enhance their appearance and performance. Flakes of other metals, such as stainless steel, are used for surface protection purposes such as corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity. 

F-treated intermetallics exhibit extremely high reactivity and selectivity to H2, even in CO and CO2 atmospheres. The treatment behaves as a curing effect of the external surface and creates a fluoride-rich layer with a Ni-enriched subsuperficial layer. The hydriding behavior is increased by the presence of microcracks running through the external layer the initial activation process is enhanced, even for Mg-based alloys. In addition, a protective effect is observed since the samples can be safely stored in air for long time without degradation or surface reactivity [116]. 

In addition to pit formation, it is possible for hillocks to be formed on the surface. Hillocks may be formed from humps on the pre-etched surface, protective spots on parts of die surface, or the growing together of etch pits.
