Solid lubrication tools are designed for surface
treatment of dies, machines, and devices in order to extend their
effective life cycle substatially by increasing their resistance to
wear (as described in the following test results):

Solid lubrication tools can be used either manually or
with common machining tools. The solid lubricant materials, which
consist of soft and low-friction metals, provide a permanent
lubrication environment for the surface layer of the product and
thereby raising its wear resistance.
The solid lubrication technology and tools have the
following advantages over other surface treatment methods:
-
Surface micro-grooves are filled and a Micronics layer
of solid lubrication is created over them with no change in the
dimensions of the product:

After Solid Lubrication
(a graph will be placed here soon)
-
Solid lubrications can function in
extreme wear conditions: high temperatures and mechanical stresses.
-
Solid Lubrication maintains High
level of adhesion to the treated surface with no vaporizing.
-
Coupling elements treated by solid lubrication fit
better to each other and thus function better and last longer.
-
Solid lubrication can be applied to singular small
areas or to large surfaces.
-
Both the geometry of a solid lubrication tool and its
compound can be tailored to specific applications.
-
The treatment is inexpensive, quick, easy to apply at
the production site, and can be used repeatedly and in conjunction
with other machining activities.
