Bonded coatings for all metal surfaces

Product catalog summary
Overview of Bonded Coatings
Bonded coatings are akin to industrial lacquers but incorporate lubricating substances instead of pigments. Key components include solid lubricants like PTFE, MoS2, and graphite, along with organic or inorganic binders and solvents. These coatings create a thin, dry layer that minimizes friction and wear, offering clean lubrication without environmental harm.

Performance Characteristics
Bonded coatings provide dry lubrication, enhance running-in behavior, and offer lifetime lubrication without the need for relubrication. They perform well under diverse conditions, including extreme temperatures, aggressive media, and vacuum environments. They also aid in the assembly and disassembly of components and ensure precise tightening torques in screw connections.

Functional Mechanism
Once cured, bonded coatings form a thin, dry lubricant layer that reduces friction and wear. The longevity of the coating is influenced by the binder's wear resistance and elasticity. Over time, frictional stresses wear down the coating, a process known as "transfer lubrication."

Design Considerations
Design factors include avoiding sharp edges, determining tolerances based on layer thickness, and ensuring suitable surface roughness. The load-carrying capacity is dependent on the solid lubricant used, with PTFE or graphite suitable for low loads and MoS2 for higher pressures. Considerations for burn-in temperatures and corrosion protection are also crucial.

Pretreatment and Application Process
Surfaces must be contaminant-free before coating. Pretreatment involves degreasing, cleaning, and roughening through mechanical or chemical means. Application methods include immersion, injection, tumbling, or dip-spinning, followed by a burn-in or drying process.

From Requirements to Series Application
The process involves defining requirements, selecting a bonded coating, determining the coating process, and conducting sample and series coatings. Klüber Lubrication offers assistance and sample coatings if needed.

Application Examples
Bonded coatings are utilized in various applications such as axles, bolts, sealing rings, sliding guides, springs, chain pins, armatures, camshafts, pistons, hinges, lock parts, seat belt parts, valves, and shafts.

Special Applications
Specific bonded coatings are recommended for applications like threaded spindles, plain bearings, belt tensioners, chain pins, pistons, armatures, metal forming, hinge bolts, lock parts, seat belt mechanisms, rolling bearings, gear rims, and cylinder head screws.

Component Assembly
Bonded coatings are used in press-in and press-on assemblies, screw-bolt connections, and various other mechanical connections, providing lifetime lubrication and enhanced performance.

Product Survey
The document includes a detailed survey of various Klüber products, their service temperature ranges, surface pressure capabilities, and application methods.

Technical Questionnaire
A technical questionnaire is available for customers to specify their requirements for bonded coatings, including component description, technical requirements, quality requirements, estimated consumption, and enclosures.

General information on bonded coatings Composition Performance The composition of a bonded coating is similar to that of an i ndustrial lacquer, however instead of pigments it contains lubricating substances. The main constituents of a bonded coating are: - Solid lubricant e. g. polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), graphite or a combination of solid lubricants - Binder (organic or inorganic, made up of one or two components) - Solvent (organic or water) Further constituents are for example coloring agents or corrosion inhibitors etc. Once applied and hardened, bonded coatings...

ttVVWW Function Once hardened, the bonded coating forms a thin, dry and firmly adhering lubricant layer, which spartes the friction components in contact, thus reducing friction and wear considerably. The service life of a bonded coating layer is limited and d颩pends on diffrent product characteristics, the most important being the binder's wear resistance and elasticity, and the adhesiveness to the component surface. Frictional stresses gradually wear off the bonded coating layer, which is why this type of lubrication is also referred to as "transfer lubrication" or "wear-related lubrication"....

Design dtails The components to be coated should be designed following certain criteria: No sharp edges This applies both to the friction body to be coated and the opposing body. Sharp-edged opposing bodies scratch the coating. Coated parts with sharp edges tend to corrode around the edges and have a shorter life because the coating is thinner in these areas. Tolrances The acceptable tolerances have to be determined in accordance with the layer thickness. Standard layers are between 7 and 15 um. Component According to our experience, only one friction body is usually coated for cost reasons,...

ttVVWW Pretreatment and application The surfaces to be coated always have to be free of oil, grease, water, corrosion, scale etc. Prior to applying a bonded coating, the component surfaces (substrate) have to be thoroughly degreased. The cleanliness of the surface to be coated is the most important pre-requisite for good adhsion and hence also for the function of the bonded coating. Furthermore, sufficient surface rough-ness is required for the bonded coating to become firmly rooted on the component surface. Degreasing and cleaning can be done in an ultrasonics bath using alcaline, aqueous agents,...
