From Dicronite Dry Lubrication

Dicronite dry lubrication is commonly used to extend the life or increase the load carrying capacity of rotating or sliding elements beyond that obtained with wet lubricants only.

In the tests described below, Dicronite dry lubrication was evaluated in conjunction with various conventional lubricants to determine the effect of Dicronite dry lubrication on seizure load, weld point and load-wear index in sliding-on-steel conditions using the Four Ball Method (ASTM D-2783).
