Recently, Russian manufacturers were having issues with the supply of components needed to produce conservation oils, so local scientists had to improve some projects stored from the Soviet period. Starting with 2020, experts at 25th State R&D Chemmotology Institute affiliated with the Ministry of Defense, Russian Federation, have been working on the technologies that would ensure temporary corrosion protection of metal units. This was announced by Valery Mityagin, D. Sc. of Engineering, Professor from an academic establishment, during the Scientific-Practical Conference TOPICAL ISSUES OF CORROSION PROTECTION. The event was held on April 19 during the Corrosion Protection Exhibition and Congress in the ExpoForum Convention and Exhibition Centre. Over the last years, the scientists have developed the receipts and technologies to make two products, following some guidelines stored from the Soviet times. ‘The universal conservation oil, or UKM , is an advanced equivalent of the Soviet K-17 grade oil, whereas the universal gun oil, or UKRM, was developed to replace the outdated RZh gun oil,’ Valery Mityagin explained. According to Professor, the natural need of switching to the new gen corrosion protection products and the recently encountered issues with the supply of components for production of previously used conservation oils became the prerequisites for development of the new products. ‘Most of those oils were invented 50+ years ago, and today these technologies are really outdated. There are four preservative oil grades registered in Russia, and our country is currently making only two of them, but they are far from being perfect. The other two can’t be made as we lack the components we used to get from abroad,’ explained Mr. Mityagin. He added that the 25th State R&D Chemmotology Institute developed some receipts and technologies to make some extensive use conservation oils, too. They are going to roll them out under the brand of ‘Wedeshechka’. During his speech, Mr. Mityagin referred to the case of motor vehicle oils that are produced in containers quite handy for everyday use, which are spray cans.
