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

Once hardened, the bonded coating forms a thin, dry and firmly adhering lubricant layer, which separates the friction components in contact, thus reducing friction and wear The service life of a bonded coating layer is limited and depends on diffe- rent product characteristics, the most important being the binder's wear resistance and elasticity, and Frictional stresses gradually wear off the bonded coating layer, which is why this type of lubrication is also referred to as "transfer lubrication" process is comparable to writing with a lead pencil: the pencil will only work as long as there is...

Design details The components to be coated should be designed following certain criteria: No sharp edges Load-carrying capacity Thermal stability 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. Our experience has shown that p ­ olytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or graphite should be the preferred solid lubricants if the friction points are s ­ ubject to low loads, e. g. mean surface pressure...

Pretreatment and application The surfaces to be coated always have to be free of oil, grease, water, corrosion, scale etc. After degreasing and roughening, the components should not be touched with bare hands. Prior to applying a bonded coating, the component surfaces (substrate) have to be thoroughly degreased. Depending on the part’s geometry and the coating selected to meet t ­ ribological requirements, the bonded coating is applied by immersion, i ­njection, tumbling or dip-spinning or other techniques commonly used for paint application. The cleanliness of the surface to be coated is the...

Technical questionnaire - bonded coatings Surface condition as delivered Is it possible to coat the entire part? Surface pressure p= N/mm2 (constant, alternating, impact) Movement uniform Q oscillating O Corrosion around edges acceptable: yes Q no Q Further requirements/specifications/ Reference data required for subject component: yes Q no O Note: At least one reference sample has to be retained for internal documentation. Series application is subject to prior manufacture of a pilot lot (the number of components depends on the respective geometry of the part).
