The Wearless Operation
Technology (WOT)
for all types of machinery, engineering, transport on the basis of
lubricants with regenerative effect, containing antifriction regenerating
composition (ARC)
Advantages of the WOT
Regenerating of worn-out mechanical parts and reduction a number of their repairs by 50%;
Reduction of expense of the electric power by 10%;
Reduction of fuel and oils consumption by 4-12%;
Increase of the output technics and equipment by 20-30%;
As a result, WOT ensures diminishing of specific charges on the operation of all types of
mechanical equipment and automotive engineering by 50%;
Economic benefits of application of WOT, due to decrease in losses on repair, equipment
replacement and its idle times, makes 135:1, i.e. IRR=13400;
Combination of record wear resistance with periodic restoration provides the real wearless
mode of mechanical equipment exploitation.

Microlayer formation
after treatment with ARC
Layer formed on the friction surface.
Optical microscopy.
The boundary of the base metal and of the modified layer formed on the
friction surface.
Left - the base metal with a polycrystalline structure. Right - the modified
layer with a structure similar to amorphous.
The consequence of integrity of the modified layer is reduction of the
friction surface roughness (slide 5) and layer hardening with respect to
the base metal (slide 7).
Photograph was obtained by atomic force microscopy.

Average value of microhardness of modified layer
is 5 times higher than basic metal
Friction polymer forming additive (FPFA),
as a part of ARC, can instantly stop the development of wear on any metal
surfaces, forming polymer "patch" on the wear spot

With ARC, waste oil,

This is the real basis for the

Adding of ARC in the reduction gear lube oil reduces the vibration level by 6 dB or in 1.8
times. Reduction of the gaps, due to restoration-corrective action of ARC, creates the
physical limitations for the amplitude of vibrations.

A decrease in gap size, due to the restoration of details, on the 800 microns,
results in a decrease of amplitude of vibrations on 1600 microns in the
horizontal direction.
1.
Lubricants containing ARC are able to regenerate during operation the size and the shape of wornout steel and cast-iron parts by approx. 1000 μk, increase hardness up to HRC 56-60 and decrease
roughness down to Ra = 0.1-0.15 μk. At the same time, ARC is able to stop developing wear on any
metallic surfaces instantly.
2.
Real possibility of operation of the mechanical parts without wear allows refusing a mode of
scheduled-preventive service of the equipment with annual dismantling-assemblage according to the
regulations. Service based on an actual state estimated by diagnostics reduces cost and increases
reliability of the equipment operation.
3.
In this regard, we have developed an original technique for vibration diagnostics. Its main advantage
is that our technique is based on the use of inexpensive compact vibrometer, and the interpretation of
measurement results becomes accessible to understanding of ordinary technicians and craftsmen.
Results of the vibration diagnostics are regularly entered into a computer database that allows
organizing an effective centralized vibromonitoring of any number of equipment.
4.
Refusal from the annual replacement of greasing would be logical continuation of refusal from the
annual dismantling-assemblage of the mechanical equipment. Our containing ARC greasing
"Politerm“ works 5 years before replacement, restores the worn out details, reduces vibration and the
temperature of self-warming. A working temperature range: -60 - +130° C; -30 - + 250° C; increased
resistance to water washout and aggressive factors, the record bearing capacity of mechanical
equipment.
5.
We have developed an original method of input control of ball-bearings and other machine parts,
which eliminates the use of the parts of low quality. This is a necessary condition for the operation of
the equipment without wear.
Techno-economic indicators
Cost ARC - $350 per 1 liter. ARC can be added in any lube oil (20 ml per liter of oil). It is
necessary to spend for restoration of the engine of the car no more than $28. This fact gives a
general idea about processing cost.
Single addition of ARC is enough for run 60 thousand kilometers of motor-vehicles and tractors,
regardless of replacement of oil, or for work during 18 months of other kinds of equipment. Then
addition of ARC should be repeated.
Combination of record wear resistance with periodic restoration provides the wearless mode of
exploitation of mechanical equipment really.
Since 2000 ARC and WOT have been successfully tested in many enterprises in Russia, Ukraine,
Belarus, Uzbekistan, Bulgaria and USA. The universal character of WOT enables to regenerate
resource , prolong service life and ensure reliable operation of extremely worn-out mechanical
equipment and technics (during operation) in all fields of economy: power engineering, housing
and communal services, transport, agriculture, oil- and gas-extraction, coal production, industry,
personal subsidiary plot, etc.
