#ws2 coating

We help solve our clients’ tooling issues by providing them with dry film lubricant coatings, which are well known for their corrosion resistance, low coefficient of friction, anti-galling and fretting and wear resistance properties.

Timesaver Lapping Compound is still the leader in non-charging abrasive compounds. Timesaver Lapping Compounds are currently manufactured by Micro Surface Corporation in San Jose, CA. and now these reliable time saver lapping compound kits are available for distribution worldwide.

Tungsten Disulphide, also known as WS2, is a synthetic powder with chemical formula WS2. The microstructure of WS2 Dry Film Lubricant crystals is a layered hollow sphere with hexagonal crystal clusters, lamellar lattice structure, whose layers are bound by weak Van der Walls forces. This weak binding force is easily shared between the layers, resulting in a very low coefficient of friction. Tungsten Disulfide is one of the most lubricious materials known to science.

Timesaver Compounds absolutely do not embed or charge into any metal surfaces.  Therefore, do not attempt to take a lead, copper or other soft metal laps to lap hard metals, as is done with emery, ground glass, silicon carbide or other similar charging abrasives. The lapping plate should be at least as hard as the surface to be lapped and harder if possible. The softer of the two metals will get the most wear.
