Lubrication of sliding components

Lubrication of sliding components

Lubrication of sliding components

(OP)
The information on lubrication of stainless screws was very informative. I have a question as to turning components. Close tolerance with a gap of 0.0003". At temperatures up to 600 deg. F, would the same lubricating materials be useful? Or would a coating such as Titanium disulfide be a good match. What are your thoughts?

How many revolutions in how little time?

Slow and only occasionally. It just has to turn.

I'm a big fan of Never-Seez and C-5A.

Looks like a plan. Thanks a lot.
