When you look into various ways to keep heavy-duty machinery intact, you will find nothing better to suffice than applying dry lubricants. Tungsten disulfide is one such lubricant, known for its ability to be durable, long-lasting, and strong. Once applied to a metal part, it will not fade away. It will remain intact for a long period of time, no matter what the heat and pressure. It can be easily applied through a spray, and the coating will give appropriate protection to the metal part from frictional wear. The coating is capable of resisting water and chemicals, which will remain intact even if they spill on it and still provide effective lubrication.
Apply Quick-Drying Tungsten Disulfide Coating Through Spray For Lubrication
There are many unusual properties in tungsten disulfide, primarily its ability to withstand high temperatures, which makes it a suitable lubricant for machines that operate at extreme temperatures. Tungsten comes from the mineral tungstenite, which, when fused with sulphur through a chemical process, creates tungsten disulfide.
You can mix tungsten disulfide powder with grease, oil, or perhaps different types of chemical lubricants to get a solution that has very high lubricity. When this solution is applied to metal surfaces, they are able to withstand extremes of high temperature, pressure, and load and get protection from rusting that lasts for a long time.
Apply tungsten disulfide coating through a spray on metal parts to ensure that they work smoothly when sliding against one another inside large, heavy-duty machinery. Since it is possible to dissolve its powder in water as well as acidic solutions, it can be used in so many applications. In an industrial environment that has temperatures ranging from 450 oF to +1200 oF, you will find WS2 to work very well as a lubricant in machines that operate under such extremes of temperature.
The primary use of WS2 is as a lubricant in heavy-duty machinery, where it is coated on its parts so that it runs smoothly and has a long lifespan. However, this is a versatile dry lubricant that can be used in so many other ways as well. It is also used in catalysts that are required in hydrodesulfurization and is also mixed with oil catalysts. It can also be used as a semi-conductor and in anode and anode sensor fuel cells.
The easiest way to apply it to various metal parts is by spraying. A 120-psi spray done with dry compressed air on a metal surface does not require any binding agent. Such spraying can be done easily at room temperature, and the coated film is 0.5 microns. You can also mix the powder with isopropyl alcohol to create a 120 psi solution that can be easily applied to the metal surface by hand and then polished thoroughly.
