[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2545239, member: 115658"] The tungsten sulfide, WS2, acts like a dry lubricant but when exposed to oxygen and water, acting as a [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalyst']catalyst[/URL], to form sulfuric acid, a stong oxididizing acid & tungsten oxides - like corrosion & rust & wet pre shot conditions. A steady diet of WS2 under warm & humid condtions would promote rusting & associated pitting in both 416R & 4140 steels. I don't plan to mess with WS2. I will continue to use the relatively benign 91% rubbing alcohol. [/QUOTE]
