Abstract
Abstract Solid lubricants which are used in the non-cutting hot forming of metals. Lubricants containing graphite and polymers are presuspended in a colloid mill in water as a carrier liquid and immediately thereafter are subjected to a further mixing process in an intensive mixer, thereby being processed to a stable suspension.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
Process for preparing a suspension of at least one solid lubricant, which is used in the non-cutting hot-forming of metals, said lubricant containing graphite and at least one polymer in water as a carrier liquid, comprising suspending the constituents of the solid lubricant in the water in a colloid mill, said suspension having a solid lubricant content of 1 to 70 weight percent, said suspension containing 1 to 90 weight percent of graphite and 1 to 50 weight percent of at least one polymer and, water being present as a carrier liquid in an amount at least sufficient to allow said suspension of at least one solid lubricant to be formed, and immediately afterward are subjecting said suspension to a further mixing process in an intensive mixer, thereby processing said suspension to a stable suspension.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
135 words
Process for preparing a suspension of at least one solid lubricant, which is used in the non-cutting hot-forming of metals, said lubricant containing graphite and at least one polymer in water as a carrier liquid, comprising suspending the constituents of the solid lubricant in the water in a colloid mill, said suspension having a solid lubricant content of 1 to 70 weight percent, said suspension containing 1 to 90 weight percent of graphite and 1 to 50 weight percent of at least one polymer and, water being present as a carrier liquid in an amount at least sufficient to allow said suspension of at least one solid lubricant to be formed, and immediately afterward are subjecting said suspension to a further mixing process in an intensive mixer, thereby processing said suspension to a stable suspension.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
Process according to claim 1 wherein the dry premixed constituents of the solid lubricant and water are brought together in the colloid mill.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
Process according to claim 1 wherein the graphite and the polymer premixed in the water are fed into the colloid mill.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
