Results are presented of the development, study, and application of metal-plating lubricants (MPL) based on commercial plastic lubricants and additions to them of nonferrous metal superplastic alloy (SPA) powders. The authors describe the basic characteristics of the studied MPL and show their influence on the friction and wear characteristics of a sliding friction assembly and on the friction torque and the load-temperature regime of operation of bearings of the type 76-80204 and 180204. A conclusion is drawn on the advisability and effectiveness of using MPL in rolling-element bearings in place of the presently used commercial plastic lubricants.
