Description

1 D e s c r i p t i o n The present invention refers to a novel lubricant (lubricating agent~ or lubricant concentrate on a mineral oil and/or synthetic oil basis having improved lubricating properties, in particular improved load bearing, sliding or gliding as well as corrosion preventing properties.

During the last decades numerous processes and lubricating systems have been developed in order to reduce the friction and wear of moving machine parts and to lower the costs for energy and replacement parts and to extend the service life of lubricants and of materials. As an ideal lubricant the "lifetime lubricant" is considered which takes into account the ecological requirements becoming more and more restrictive.

On the way to longlife and hi~hduty lubricants, lubricating systems and lubricating processes in the first step the so-called chemical wear lubrication has been developed. By using it the metal-to-metal contact could be largely prevented by means of the salt formation on the surfaces of the micro-mountains of the moving parts by forming chemically reactive cover coats on the surfaces or by introducing chemically reactive compounds into the base lubricants.
In this manner the seizing of the machine parts could be prevented. But simultaneously the wear by shearing of the salt coats between the metal parts moving against one another has been promoted. The service life of the materials therefore remained relatively short. In a further step solid lubricants have been developed which were introduced between the moving metal parts such as graphite, MoS2, TiO2, Ca3(P04)2, teflon etc., which were introduced in the form of lubricating cover coats, suspensions, pastes or fats. In this way the frictionating parts were better 13~0272 l separated ~rom each other and their loadability was increased.
However, the solid lubricants and base media are separa-ted from each other sooner or later under the influence of centripetal movements of higher circumference speeds and at a higher temperature due to their different specific densities. The longlife lubrication is limited thereby.
In a further step the deposition of suitable metal cations out of chemical complexes dissolved in a lubricant onto the frictionating s~faces in operation has been achieved. There under the pressure and the temperature of the frictionating parts they form eutectica together with the metal border layers, which fill up smoothingly the roughness valleys and flatten in part tribochemically in part microplastically the roughness peaks. The anionic part of the organometallic compounds forms in situ lubricating and adhering reaction layers on the newly rebuilt eutectoid frictional faces.

Besides a starting phase which is too long, a friction coefficient and a wear which are toc high, the control of the reaction proceeding is a problem with these lubri-cating systems. Either material-independent eutectica and reaction layers are achieved which do no more function sufficiently as agents for removing the minute unevennesses due to the preparation of the workpieces in narrow fittings so that at these places overload areas and resulting later metal breaks at the sliding faces occur, or the aggressive component of the organometallic compounds is strengthened and this results in the phase of chemical wear lubrication leading to too high removing rates and to a too short life service.

For example, from DE-PS 941 678 lubricating oils having a content of soluble reaction proaucts of phosphorus pentasulfide and liquid or solid aliphatic hydrocarbons or terpene hydrocarbons are known. From DE-PS 923 984 there V~, I

13~û~72 1 is known d lubricating oil which contains the metal con-taining alkylphenolsulfide esters in combination with zinc sulfonates. From DE-AS 1 444 892 there is known a lubricating oil which contains a salt of an aromatic zinc dithiophosphate and a zinc carboxylic acid salt in the presence of water. While both formerly stated products are lubricating oil detergents the latter product is said to prevent the corrosion of silver bearing surfaces.
Frolll DE-AS 1 296 730 there is known a lubricating oil which contains a substituted succinic acid~optionally together with a salt of- an alkylated or esterified phosphoric acid. This product is an antioxidant functioning as detergent. From DE-AS 1 271 878 there is known a combi-nation of dithiophosphate and dithiophosphinate salts.
From DE-OS 15 94 555 there are known cutting oils which contain free sulfur, a dialkyldithiophosphate and a chlorinated hydrocarbon. In US-PS 3 462 367 lubricating oils containing a zinc or antimony dithiocarbamate are disclosed. From US-PS 2 758 087 lubricating oils are known, containing a sulfur-phosphorus-compound prepared by reacting phosphorus pentasulfide with an olefin at a higher temperature,and zinc phthalate. However, all these known lubricating oil additives do not fulfill the today's requirements, in particular they lead to heavy oxidic deposits in the area of the lubricating place and caUse a wear which is too high.

From US-PS 2 734 865 it is known to use a lubricating oil additive which is formed of a dithiophosphate of the alkaline earth metal salts in combination with a complex reaction product of phosphorus sulfides, tallow oil fatty acid alcohol esters, zinc chloride and barium hydroxide. The friction coefficients and wear values which can be achieved therewith are too high for today's requirements and furthermore the face pressure value is too low. From US-PS

1~02'72 l 2 734 864 lubricating oil additives are known which are formed of a dithiophosphate of the alkaline earth metals in combination with a complex reaction product of phosphorus sulfides, wool fat and alcohol esters. The undefined product contains substantial amounts of barium and zinc.
Such a lubricating oil additive is not usable in practice because of its inbearable odor which also jeopardizes the health of the operators getting in contact with it. From DE-PS 1 954 452 lubricants on mineral oil and synthetic oil-basis are known which contain besides the mineral oil or synthetic oil as additives an ester of an epoxidized fatty acid having 10 to 18 C-atoms and of a monovalent or multivalent alcohol, an alkyl, aralkyl or aryldithiophos-phate of zink, lead, tin, tungsten, molybdenUm, niobium or lanthanum, and optionally a sulfur-phosphorus-compound.
From DE-PS 2 108 780 lubricants on the basis of a mineral oil or synthetic oil and lubricant concentrates, respectively, are known which besides a lead, tungsten, molybdenum and/or vanadium dithiophosphate esterified with alkyl, aryl or aralkyl groups contain in addition at least one zinc dialkyldithiophosphate compound and a sulfur-phosphorus-compound which is free of a metal. Also these latter lubricants which have found a widespread use, do no More fulfill all requirements of modern longlife and highduty lubricants. Their friction coefficient and wear are too high, their storage restistance is insufficient, their longlife use leads to a too high reclamation quote in the lubricant field.

The object of the present invention is to provide a novel lubricant (lubricating agent) cr lubricant concentrate on a mineral oil or synthetic oil basis having improved lubricating properties, in particular improved friction and wear properties and reduces sensibly the need of energy and replacement parts and meets the highest requirements.

~' 1 It has now been ~ound that this object according to the present invention can be surprisingly reached by adding at least one tetravalent to octavalent alcohol containing in its molecule at least one quaternary carbon atom and at least one ester bond and having a density d20 of at least 0,900 and an enthalpy H of at least 350 kcal/kg, at least one asy~etric organometallic compound, at least one phosphorus containing substance and at least one sulfur containing substance to a mineral oil and/or synthetic oil besides the usual additives.

The subject of the present invention is a novel lubricant or lubrical concentrate on mineral oil and/or synthetic oil basis which is characterized in that it contains a) one or more mineral oils and/or synthetic oils as base oil and b) at least one tetravalent to octavalent alcohol having at least one quaternary carbon atom as well as at least one ester bond in its molecule and having a density d20 of at least 0,900 and an enthalpy H of at least 350 kcal/kg, c) at least one asymmetric organometallic compound, d) at least one phosphor containing substance, e) at least one sulfur containing substance and f) further usual additives.

The lubricants and lubricant concentrates of the invention are superior to the known lubricants and lubricant con-centrates in particular in regard to their friction and wear properties and reduce substantially the need of energy and replacement parts. It is assumed that this is due to the fact that by their use in the friction and slide areas metallic glass surfaces consisting of amorphous solidified metal melts are formed which do not exhibit any metal crystal lattice structures. The glass-like sMooth friction and sliding surfaces which are V, 13~û272 1 believed to be formed by using the lubricants or lubricant concentrates of the present invention improve substantially the whole lubricating process since the friction coefficient and the wear, the oxidation and the corrosion are reduced substantially. Also the so-called fitting-rust is prevented by the lubricant and lubricat concentrate of the invention.
In addition, the lubricants and lubricantconcentrates of the invention are non-polluting since they do not contain any lead, no sulfur containing whale sperm oil and almost no phosphorus. This has been shown in fish tests and bacterial cultivation tests which have been carried out with the lubricantSand lubricant concentratesof the inven-tion. Furthermore, it has been shown that they are degra-dable biologically in normal soil within 3 to 4 monthsto an extent of 60 ~.
Thus, they can be considered as extremely non-polluting.
In particular they are 5uited for the use in homokinetic joints for vehicles, i.e. small joints subject to a high number of revolutions and a hig load, and they are more similar to the ideal lubricant "lifetime lubricant" than all other already known lubricants. Additionally, the polyolester compounds having quaternary carbon atoms which are used according to the present invention have a significant thermal stability and enable the utilization of high operating temperatures of up to 300~C. They offer the possibility to use them as lifetime lubrication of high duty engines, turbines, roller bearings, synchronizing joints and other high duty machine elements.

The expression~lubricant or lubricant concentrate on mineral oil and/or synthetic oil basis" used in the present appli-cation is meant to comprise lubricating oils as well aslubricating fats on mineral oil and/or synthetic oil basis.

The expression "quaternary carbon atoms containing compounds"
used here is meant to comprise those compounds wherein the 4 main valences of at leastone carbon atom per molecule are each substituted by 4 carbon atoms. Examples for such compounds are monomeric, dimeric and trimeric penta-~rj erythritol esters, other polyolesters,pentaerythritol ~ I

- 7 ~ 1340 ~72 -1 ethoxyesters as well as telomeric acid pentaerythritol esters and the corresponding ethcxylated esters.

As can be seen from the examples following below the lubricants und lubricant concentratesof the invention have substantially improved properties compared with the known lubricant5and lubricant concentrates.The glass-like smooth friction and sliding faces formed by the lubricant of the invention save driving energy and reduce the friction coefficient pcr se and also by the formation of a very good adhering boundary lubricating film which enables an elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication also with a point-like load.
This results in a lowering of the friction temperature of the lubricant and of the lubricated place, in an extçnsion of the oxidation resistance of both and the metallic friction partnerS are less subjected to specific change-load and temperature stresses.

In summarylthe wear is extremely lowered by these effects and the ser~ice life of the friction partners and of the lubricant is extended sensibly. According to the present invention these improvements are achieved within a very broad viscosity range so that now oils having a low viscosity can also be used in those fields where until now the use of oils having high or intermediate viscosity values have been considered as being indispensable, for example in gears, differential gears, or gears of turbines.
In addition the thermal stability of the lubricant and lubricant concentrate of the invention allows its use in lubricating places subject~ to high operation temperatures, such as in Diesel engines and aircraft turbines.

l The results obtained in each example are depicted graphi-cally in the diagrams.

For the carrying-out of the tests a circular plate of refined steel with a diameter of 23 mm and a thickness of 10 mm was used, onto the surface of which a drop of each lubricant ~r lubricant concentrate to be tested was applied. Onto the area where the drop of the lubricant or lubricant concentrate was located a ball made of the same refined steel with a diameter of 10 mm was applied, which on account of its load exerted a pressure onto the surface of the metal plate. The metal ball was moved to and fro on the surface of the metal plate with a frequency of 50 Hz over an amplitude of 1 mm for 60 tG 180 minutes under pressure, whereby during the test the load within the ranqe was varied from 50 to 300 N and the temperature was varied from 50 to 150~C (SRV (swing-friction-wear) apparatus which is sold world-wide by the firm Optimol Gmb~.

The wear-profile produced on account of the friction between the loaded ball and the surface of the metal plate within the testing period diagonal to the oscillation direction of the ball was recorded by means of a suitable recording apparatus, whereby the below given diagrams were obtained, in which on the ordinate, the height of wear is plotted as difference between the highest and lowest point of the surface profile of the metal plate, against the scanning span of the surface of the metal plate on the abscissa.

In the below diagrams a depth of profile on the ordinate of 1 cm corresponds to a real depth of profile on the surface of the metal plate of 1 ~m, whereas in the diagram B' of example 2 the scanner was so damped that a depth of profile of 1 cm on the diagram corresponds to a real depth of profile on the surface of the plate of 2,5 ~m.
