An aqueous lubricant for metal material plastic working, which can form a lubricating coating having excellent lubricity (moisture absorption resistance) under a high humidity environment, seizure resistance to metal working with high difficulty, and the like, and further has excellent long-term agent stability; a metal material having a lubricating coating formed by the aqueous lubricant on/over a surface of the metal material; and a metal processed article obtained by molding the metal material are provided. The above problem can be solved by using an aqueous lubricant for metal material plastic working in which an aliphatic polycarboxylic acid having 5 to 8 carbon atoms and a solubility in water at 20 C. of 10 g/100 mL or more and an alkaline earth metal compound are blended in water, or an alkaline earth metal salt of the aliphatic polycarboxylic acid is dissolved or dispersed in water.

Provided herein is a grease composition capable of reducing an amount of wear in sliding parts of various members of automobiles, electrical devices, and the like. The grease composition includes a lubricant base oil, a thickener, an amide compound, and at least one of an -hydroxycarboxylic acid metal salt, and an -hydroxycarboxylic acid metal salt. The hydroxycarboxylic acid metal salts are contained in a total content of 0.1 to 2 mass % with respect to the total amount of the grease composition.

Object

Objective is to provide a grease composition for a pivot assembly and a pivot assembly bearing filled with the grease composition, and to provide a bearing apparatus as well as a drive apparatus including the bearing apparatus, which is capable of suppressing adhesion of a volatilized component to a magnetic disk or the like even when the grease composition is volatilized by application of the grease composition and the bearing, thereby suppressing occurrence of read/write errors of an HDD.

Solution

Provided are: a grease composition for a pivot assembly bearing including an aromatic ester-based base oil and a thickener, the aromatic ester-based base oil containing an aromatic ester compound having an ester group *(CO)O as a substituent on a ring, where * is a bonding site to an aromatic ring, and having an alkyl group with a total of 8 or more carbon atoms bonded to an oxygen atom of the ester group; a pivot assembly bearing filled with the grease composition for pivot assembly bearing; a bearing apparatus including the pivot assembly bearing; and a disk drive apparatus equipped with the bearing apparatus.
