The present invention is directed to metallic gallium alone or to metallic gallium.
This wax relates to a wax that improves sliding properties by applying an alloy of one or more selected from In, Zn, Sn, Al, etc. to a sliding surface. Traditionally, ski wax has been made using a mixture of various paraffins depending on the temperature and snow temperature, and many conditions have been taken into account when using it.
Even in ski competitions, ski manufacturers are equally attentive to the selection of ski wax, and it is even said that the key to the competition lies in the wax, and the reality is that many people struggle with it right before the start. There are also multi-purpose waxes available on the market for general skiers, but although they are said to be versatile, they have drawbacks such as not being as slippery when the temperature is low (that is, powdery snow). The present invention solves these problems and provides an excellent wax that is easy to wax and has good sliding performance, and particularly relates to a metal wax for sliding that is characterized by containing gallium. Hereinafter, the wax according to the present invention will be explained in detail. Metallic Ga has a melting point of 29.6±1°C, a density of 5.91g/cc, and a thermal conductivity of 0.29 to 0.38 (30°C), is soft and shiny at low temperatures, and is easy to process and can be molded into various shapes. Therefore, even when used as a wax, it can be applied easily and evenly without damaging the running surface.In cold weather, it can be applied with a cloth or sponge by simply soaking it in warm water, and it is ductile, so the amount used can be reduced. A small amount is sufficient. Furthermore, the metal Ga applied to the sliding surface becomes hard at low temperatures such as snow surfaces,
Lasts longer than paraffin wax and is more effective. Furthermore, performance not seen in all-purpose waxes has been demonstrated for various types of snow, such as fresh snow, grainy snow, wet snow, and icy snow. In this way, the effect of metallic Ga alone is outstanding, but by alloying a certain proportion of metals such as In, Zn, Sn, Al, etc., it is possible to extend the life of the metal and lower its melting point. As a result, it is easy to handle, reduces frictional resistance on the snow surface, increases speed, and has sufficient commercial value in terms of cost. The addition ratio of each metal is In: 20~60%, Zn: 10~
20%, Sn: 10-30%, Al: 3-5%, and the rest is Ga, which melts at a temperature within 100℃ that can be easily mixed with Ga based on the phase diagram of each metal. It is preferable to have a composition of 100° C., and metals other than those mentioned above can also be used as long as they form an alloy with Ga and melt at 100° C. or lower. Also, regarding the mixing ratio, the melting point of each alloy decreases; for example, the melting point of a 76:24 Ga-In alloy is 15.7℃.
and the ternary alloy Ga-Sn-Zn is 82:12:
The melting point of the 6 alloy is 17°C, making it easier to handle than Ga alone. When compounding other metals with Ga as the base, Ga is at least 60% in secondary systems, and in ternary systems.
30% or more is required. In addition, the preparation of Zn depends on the temperature,
Very effective when the snow temperature is high. On the other hand, in terms of compatibility with sliding surfaces, commercially available waxes need to be applied using a burner or a trowel, then scraped and reapplied repeatedly, which takes a lot of effort, but the wax in the present invention can be warmed by hand. By applying it with a cloth and then spreading it with gauze or a sponge, the sliding surface can be evenly coated and the application time can be significantly shortened. Ga alloy wax is particularly suitable for ski competitions because good results can be expected without being affected by snow quality, as shown in Examples below. Furthermore, the wax of the present invention is better than conventional waxes in terms of the amount of wax used at one time, wax application time, ease of handling, and sliding distance. Example A sliding comparison test was conducted between the wax of the present invention and a conventional wax. Three types of waxes were used: a commercially available general purpose all-purpose wax, a commercially available wax prepared for competition use, and the wax of the present invention as follows. The waxing for all-purpose wax and competition adjustment wax is based on the ``Competitive Ski Textbook, Alpine Edition'' (edited by the Alpine Committee of the All-Japan Ski Federation Training Department). (a) All-purpose wax (TOKO (product name, Swiss-made) silver para wax): This all-purpose wax is applied to the ski running surface, spread evenly with a trowel, then scrapes off the surface thinly, and repeats the same process to finish. . (b) Competition wax; HOLMENKOL (product name, made in Germany) wax red and yellow 1:1 melted and mixed with a burner, and finished by applying it twice in the same manner as above. TOKO wax red and white 2:1 were melted and mixed in a burner, and this was applied twice in the same manner as above. (c) Wax of the present invention; metallic Ga alone, Ga-In 60:40, Ga-Zn
The three types of 80:20 are applied to the sliding surface and spread evenly with gauze. Measurement was done by All Japan Ski Federation instructor (National Athletic Meet athlete) 2
The test was repeated 10 times. The same skis were used, the test course had an average slope of 15°, and the skiing distance was 250m. The test was randomly repeated 10 times and the average time was taken. Time is stopwatch 1/100
We used a device that could measure up to seconds, and out of the five measurement staff, excluding the top and bottom two, we took the average of the middle three. The results of the comparative test based on the sliding time of each wax, which was conducted as described above, are shown in the following table.

[Table] As described above, the wax of the present invention has better sliding performance than conventional wax, is not affected by snow quality, is easy to handle, and is easy to use once. It has the advantage that the amount, wax application time, and sliding distance are significantly improved compared to conventional wax.
