Annotation:

This article provides general information about complex soap-based lubricants, which operate over a wider temperature range and are more effective in the harsh operating conditions of machines and mechanisms. Attention is focused on complex aluminum greases, which are of particular interest because the water resistance, chemical stability, and good protective properties inherent in conventional aluminum greases are complemented by high thermal, mechanical, and colloidal stability, ensuring excellent performance characteristics. Developed in the mid-twentieth century, they still account for no more than 5% of the total grease market, despite their excellent performance characteristics. In this study, distilled fatty acid from cottonseed oil was selected as a thickening component for these lubricants, and its influence on the structure formation of the grease was examined.

Keywords: machines and mechanisms, tribological components, lubricants, greases, aluminum complex soaps, distilled fatty acids.
