Counteract the oxidation of atmospheric metals with lubricants

Based on the ferrous material to be protected, the function of the component and the environmental conditions, the ideal anti-oxidation solution must respect specific characteristics and thus requires a precise formulation studied in detail.

Do you want to determine all the properties that a good lubricant must have to protect against oxidation? Download the guide and find out all the details.

Remedies against atmospheric oxidation

The oxidation of metals is the main enemy of the most common ferrous materials used for the manufacture of mechanical devices. It is an inevitable phenomenon but the effects can be reduced through appropriate measures during the production process and during transport, including the use of an anti-oxidation/anti-corrosion protective lubricants.

Which lubricant counteracts frictional force?

The tribosystem and friction variables

Friction or, as it is more correct and precise to say, frictional force, is generated by the surfaces of two bodies, whose motion opposes that of the other. The direct consequence of friction is wear (loss of material) of moving bodies - a consequence that can be countered (or at least reduced) by applying the right type of lubricant.

Automotive electrical connectors: how to combat wear

lubrication for automotive connectors

Electrical connectors are components that allow two or more electrical parts to be electrically connected mechanically. Of the numerous types available on the market, automotive electrical connectors are certainly amongst those most subject to wear. Correct lubrication for these devices must take into account two distinct phases.

Corrosion protection: testing lubricant effectiveness

Testing effectiveness against corrosion

Damage to ferrous metals is often an inexorable process that can irreversibly affect and ruin components, with consequent repercussions on your project or machinery.

When we talk about corrosion of a metal, we refer to chemical oxidation corrosion, a process that leads to the formation of rust on the surface of the metal component, making it unsuitable for its functions.

However, this process can be avoided with a good protective lubricant solution.
