Solution Overview

Problem

Existing anticorrosive agents for metal surfaces, such as those used in grease and surface treatment agents, exhibit poor adhesion at high temperatures, leading to leakage and instability, which compromises their protective properties, especially in heating-cooling environments.

Innovation Solution

An anticorrosive agent comprising a high-consistency material with a lubricant base oil and an amide compound, a phosphorus compound with specific structures, and a tackifier, formulated to maintain adhesion and protection at high temperatures, with a mass ratio of 50:50 to 98:2 and tackifier content of 2-20 parts by mass, ensuring stable metal surface protection.

Solution Approach 1:

The invention uses a composite material system consisting of grease, phosphorus compound, and metal powder. The phosphorus compound forms a chemical bond with the metal surface, while the grease provides lubrication and corrosion protection. This composite structure combines the advantages of both materials to achieve strong adhesion and effective corrosion protection at high temperatures.

Inventive Principle:
