Lubricant composition, in particular a cooling lubricant solution, based on ionic and/or organoelemental compounds.

A wire rope is disclosed that comprises metal wires, preferably steel wires, as a load-bearing material, which rope comprises at least one or more strands laid from said metal wires and which rope is lubricated with a lubricant. Another object is the use of the aforementioned lubricant for lubricating a steel rope. The lubricant comprises at least oil and powder substance, which powder substance comprises at least particles whose hardness is greater than 4 on the Mohs scale. A traction sheave elevator comprising such a wire rope as a suspension rope is disclosed, too.

A coating composition for the piston of an internal combustion engine comprises 10-30 wt. % of phenolic resin, 10-30 wt. % of epoxy resin, 10-30 wt. % of at least one solid lubricant selected from the group consisting of graphite, MoS.sub.2, WS.sub.2 and BN, and 5-30 wt. % of Fe.sub.2O.sub.3 particles.

A threaded tubular connection for drilling or operating hydrocarbon wells contains a portion of a tubular element with a male end having an axis of revolution and provided with a first threading extending about the axis of revolution, the male end portion being complementary with a portion of a tubular element with a female end having an axis of revolution and provided with a second threading extending about the axis of revolution, the male and female end portions being capable of being connected by makeup, each of the male and female end portions further comprising a sealing surface with a metal-metal interference, wherein the threading and the sealing surfaces of the male and female end portions are coated with a metallic anti-corrosion and anti-galling layer wherein zinc (Zn) is the major element by weight. One of the metallic anti-corrosion and anti-galling layers is coated with a passivation layer and the other is at least partially coated with a lubricant layer.

A carbon nanotori-based lubricant composition for tribological applications, specifically for use in machining operations, which includes distilled water and a specific content of carbon nanotori having specific properties, which make them suitable for proper dispersal in distilled water without precipitation and remaining stable for a long time in dispersion without the need to add surfactants.

The disclosed technology relates to a lubricant composition for automotive gears, axles and bearings, the lubricant composition containing an oil of lubricating viscosity and a metal thiophosphate compound, such as zinc dialkyldithiophosphate, as well as a method of obtaining extreme pressure performance in automotive gears, axles and bearings at lower sulfur content than is typical, by lubricating such automotive gears, axles and bearings with a lubricant composition containing a metal thiophosphate compound, such as zinc dialkyldithiophosphate.

The present invention provides a lubricating oil composition not containing ZnDTP but comprising: (a) a base oil; (b) molybdenum dialkyldithiocarbamate; and (c) an organic acid metal salt compound having a metal of Group 8 of a short periodic table, copper, or bismuth as a central metal.

A magnetorheological fluid is provided having a reduced coefficient of friction and favorable settling characteristics. The fluid contains magnetically responsive particles, a carrier fluid, and an amine oleate salt.

Provided herein are lubricant compositions and methods of using the same. These lubricant compositions are useful for providing improved anti-friction and anti-wear properties.
