The disclosed technology relates to the inhibition of corrosion on electrically conductive componentry subjected to a lubricant composition, but that is not submersed in the lubricant composition, or in other words, vapor phase corrosion inhibition. The technology more particularly relates to the use of azole compounds capable of inhibiting corrosion of the electrically conductive componentry in the vapor space above a lubricant composition, and often in the liquid phase of the lubricant composition as well.

The present disclosure relates to lubricating oil compositions, and in particular, lubricating oil compositions for slideway applications, additive compositions for the slideway lubricants, and methods of lubricating a machine part, such as a slideway with the lubricating oil compositions. In one aspect, the lubricating oil compositions have a composition that provides both good friction performance and good separability from metal working fluids at the same time.

The present invention generally relates to lubricating oil compositions useful for automatic transmissions, and particularly transmission oils for automotive automatic transmissions in battery electrical vehicles (BEVs), hybrid vehicles (HVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHVs). The lubricant is free of metal compounds (e.g., Ca, Mo, or Zn) and demonstrates high volume resistivity, wear protection, and copper corrosion resistance.

Disclosed are refrigerants comprising at least about 97% by weight of a blend of three compounds, said blend consisting of:

from about 38% by weight to about 48% by weight difluoromethane (HFC-32),
from about 6% by weight to about 12% by weight pentafluoroethane (HFC-125),
from about 33% by weight to about 41% by weight trifluoroiodomethane (CF.sub.3I) and
from about 2% by weight to about 16% by weight 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234yf)
wherein the percentages are based on the total weight of the three compounds in the blend, and methods and systems which use same.
