This paper describes a study involving the incorporation of tin/zinc alloy powders into petrolatum (MIL-T-22361(Wep), using zinc dust) and silicone grease matrices for use in lubricants which are electrochemically more closely matched to Aluminum 5xxx, and especially 5086 alloys. Both thermally and chemically alloyed materials were incorporated into the grease matrices to make conductive, antiseize compounds. Compound greases within a few hundredths of a volt (anodic) with respect to the 5086 alloy were tested, and the results to date are discussed.
