The invention relates to lubricating
grease for
underwater spindle noses of iron-making
auger conveyors and a preparation method. The lubricating
grease comprises
base oil, densifiers,
viscosity index improvers, extreme-pressure antiwear agents and antirust agents. The preparation method includes adding composite
soap, namely the densifiers, and 45-55% of the
base oil into a reaction kettle, stirring and heating to the temperature of 220-230 DEG C, keeping the constant temperature for 25 minutes, adding 10-20% of the
base oil for cooling, continuing to stir, adding the residual base oil, stirring to cool the temperature to below 70 DEG C, adding additives, and stirring and mixing evenly, wherein the
mass ratio of
lithium 12-hydroxystearate to
calcium 12-hydroxystearate to
lithium octanedioic acid in the composite
soap is 3:1:1. The lubricating
grease prepared according to the preparation method has high dropping point, and friction and abrasion of lubricated portions are reduced during work under certain
heavy load conditions; the lubricating grease has good
waterproofing performance and good salt mist and
rust resistance performance; the
condensation point of the base oil is low, and a certain pumping performance of the lubricating grease is guaranteed; high-temperature loss of the lubricating grease is avoided, and extreme-pressure antiwear performance, salt mist and
rust resistance performance, water-adding anti-shearing performance, pumping performance and the like of the lubricating grease are realized.
