Analysis of the results of research and testing of geomodifiers of friction

The practice of maintenance of any equipment can be significantly supplemented by nontraditional tribotechnics for the indiscriminate restoration of worn friction interfaces and the prevention of new equipment with GMT technology. The predecessor of this direction were solid lubricants, solid lubricants and hard lubricants. They entered the special engineering of the space age and nuclear energy. But for ordinary equipment, it is more appropriate to use non-traditional tribotechnics with running-in, preventive and especially with repair and restoration tribocompositions in-troduced into units during technical service. This analysis is devoted to the analysis of the features of this direction with one of the types of tribostats — namely, with friction geomodifiers made of highly dispersed powders of serpentine minerals — hydrosilicates Mg, Al, Ni, Fe.
