What
is RVS compound The RVS compound is manufactured of natural minerals
and basic oil that eases the use of the mineral mixture and is compatible
with practically all the lubricants that are used nowadays. The core of the
RVS Technology is that we have been able to turn a natural process of mineral
rections in the opposite direction, thus creating a new type of surfaces. As the RVS Compound is made of natural minerals, as it is an active compound in certain conditions, it can be called a geoactivator. The newness of the RVS Technology lies in the fact
that 1.
Worn ferrous surfaces of different equipment can be
replaced by a new ferrosilicate surface that resists wear and corrosion
better than the surface of the original metal. 2.
The ferrosilicate surface grows on the friction and sliding
surfaces in the relationship with the friction energy secreted on the surface
and the amount of the RVS compound carried to the surface, as a result of
which the surface may even regain its original dimension. 3.
The ferrosilicate is not a traditional coating in
the sense that it does not form a sharp boundary between itself and the
metal. RVS Technology is not just a new method of fighting
with wear but a way of controlling it! It means that machine parts can be maintained in
operational condition for a lot longer period than previously. Core of RVS Technology The basic application of the RVS Technology is meant
for protecting and repairing different machines and their parts and engines
without disassembling them. The compound can be used with most oil types, and
no chemical or other reaction takes place between the compound and the oil.
The compound does not change the viscosity or other properties of the oil. In
other words, the RVS compound is not an oil additive. The RVS compound (repairing and restoring compound) is a fine-milled mixture of numerous minerals that contains plenty of different additives that are necessary for the atom exchange reaction that takes place between the compound and the metal of the surface structure. The mineral is mixed with basic oil to get a gel-type concentrate that can be applied with almost all the oil types. The gel is then mixed with the lubricant used in the object being treated. The role of the lubricant is then merely to deliver the active components of the RVS compound to the friction zones where it starts reacting with the surfaces.
At the beginning of an RVS treatment, the two
friction surfaces become finely treated (super finishing). Due to the local
and momentary high temperatures caused by contacts, the RVS particles are
"glued" on the crystals of the surface layer of the metal.
Simultaneously, the RVS compund and the metal form
a shell in the microscopic holes of the friction surface. This is the way of forming a ferrosilicate layer on
the surfaces of the sliding pair that has grown over the crystals of the
surface layer of the metal. Thus, there is a contact of two ferrosilicate
surfaces instead of a contact of two metal surfaces. The thermodynamic
processes that take place on the friction surfaces contribute to the growth
of the ferrosilicate layer in the zones where the metal has been worn most.
The process ceases gradually as the clearances approach the optimal level in
the whole area of the friction surface. When the RVS compound is absorbed to
the metal, its crystal structure is improved, which strengthens the surface
layer. It follows from the facts presented above that the
RVS Technology cannot be tested by methods for testing the properties of oils
but one has to take the requirements of the RVS Technology into account when
testing it. Read more on the testing methods

lubricant) - Micro hardness: 690-710 HV - Shock resistance: 50 kg/mm˛ - High corrosion resistance - Clear isolating and heat-proof properties Conclusion and
prospects of development RVS Technology is a revolutionary thing, the application
possibilities of which in industry and transport are huge. The traditional
way of thinking about lubrication will have to be changed on a large front,
which in its turn will cause opposition to changes in many people, including
specialists. The large-scale use of such a technology will take
years, but due to its economic and ecological benefits, its penetration is
guaranteed. The biggest benefits may have those who are able to use the RVS
Technology among the first, no matter whether we talk about a private
consumer with his or her car, maintenance companies or an engine or gearbox
manufacturer. |
