Thermal and physico-mechanical properties of antifriction solid lubricant for cold plastic deformation of titanium alloys

Abstract

The results of the investigations of thermophysical characteristics, thermomechanical and mechanical properties of epoxy-polysiloxane nanocomposites with different contents of modifying additives in the presence of fine-grained antifriction fillers. It is shown that the joint influence of the modifier (polysiloxane particles) and filler (graphite) on the formation of the composite structure during the hardening results in the essential improvement of its physico-mechanical properties. The optimal formulation of a composition to be used as an antifriction solid lubricant for a cold plastic deformation of titanium alloys is determined.
