Increase in rust resistance of farm vehicles at storage due to use of new protective lubricant

Innovative development of agro-industrial complex assumes not only perfecting of the existing technical means and technologies of mechanization of agriculture, but also creation new devices, which meet modern requirements. The key part in manufacturing of the village products is assigned to its hardware. Particular importance has the smooth operation of farm vehicles. Because of seasonal nature of work in the agrarian sector the important place is taken by storage of vehicles, which usually happens at the open areas. The objective of the study was to expand the ability to increase the corrosion resistance of metal parts of agricultural machines when stored in open areas through the use of new additives. The use of used engine oils of autotractor engines; the saponified tall pitch - the waste formed by production of paper and cardboard. This problem is achieved by the fact that the proposed lubricant containing used engine oil, emulsifier, additive and water contains saponified tall pitch as an emulsifier, nitric acid as an additive in the following ratio, wt.%: Used engine oil - 20-40; saponified tall pitch - 2,0-4,0; nitric acid - 0,15-0,45; water is the rest Tests have confirmed that the use of a lubricant of this composition eliminates the corrosion of metal parts of agricultural machinery when stored in open areas due to high adhesion. This lubricant doesn’t demand heating. The use of used motor oils eliminates the use of expensive oil-based petroleum compounds for lubricants.
