Copper grease! Any experience?

[7sleeper]

I have bought some copper grease and would like to use it on bearings and other parts. Does anyone use it and have experience with it?

How about using it on crank shaft? Just a thin coating would work for ever.

Copper is softer than steel so the "greasy" effect would last when the grease component is gone.

I have some copper based anti-seize, but never heard of any grease.

I am pretty sure that is what he is talking about

And that ain't grease.

Schaeffer makes a high temp grease with copper. It's used in industrial high temp applications.

You surely can't be talking about grease with copper shavings in it....

hmmm metal shavings in grease good for bearings.....lol


Seriously though, never seen it in grease, but anti-seize/never seize. We use the copper never seize on higher temp applications with good results.

I use it in muffler studs and bolts on chainsaws.

The other is a very low speed grease for refractory kiln bearings and such

Anti-seize also has a nickle based product.

The best one had lead in it......but it is not available anymore

Years back you would smear white lead on the wire as it went into the header, by hand. Sure did work.

Yup.....I can't remember the name of the stuff but it was a mix of metals in a paste with a brush cap and looked almost exactly like the graphite never seize but it held like a son of a gun in high heat applications with no seizing and galling

Heading is a lot of pressure and heat, extrusion and all. With titanium we would run it thru an induction heater just so we could head it.

Is it called "copper-kote"???

That is anti seize compound and definitely not something you want to use in place of grease. We use it on well "sucker rod" joints and do call it "grease" but Im positive you wouldnt want to use it for greasing bearings.

Every previous post is 100% correct, I have nothing to add.

 

[Lakeside53]

I wouldn't put that stuff in bearings...

Isn't there also a "Copper Kote" gasket cement?

 

[RaisedByWolves]

I use stuff called Copper Safe for electrical connections, powderd copper in an electrically conductive grease.


Good stuff, plus it repeats everywhere, misuse it and youll be finding it allover for weeks.

I havent ever seen that, but wouldnt doubt it. :monkey:

I used to use Quaker state golden chasie lube. it was a medium(allpurpose) grease with copper in it greate for u-joints, ball-joints and such but not for high speed bearings.
