Abstract
The application of Ga as a base for a solid metal lubricator has been considered. Different methods were applied to investigate properties of liquid Ga in the temperature range 30–300 °C. Some peculiarities of liquid Ga can be explained with structural transformations. It has been shown that Ga is characterized with combination of a high plasticity and strength of a melt. Due to the good adhesion, Ga forms stiff films on the surface of contact bodies. A mixed mode of friction usually exists when Ga is applied as a solid lubricator. Moreover, the friction process is characterized with low friction coefficients, which practically do not depend on load and velocity. Investigations have revealed that Ga is a promising metal for solid lubricators. Properties of these lubricators can be easily controlled by the preparation of suspensions on the base of Ga.
