Definitions
- the invention relates to the use of organic bismuth-compounds in extreme pressure grease lubricant compositions for application in rolling bearings.
- extreme pressure grease lubricants are applied in order to make sure that an appropriate amount of lubricant film is always available within the bearing, in particular on the raceways and rolling elements thereof.
- Such extreme pressure lubricant compositions generally contain an oil, a soap thickener, one or more EP additives and optionally further additives.
- the EP additives form a friction-reducing film on the metal surfaces of the bearing, usually due to a chemical reaction of the additives with the surface metals.
- the function of the supplied lubricant extreme-pressure additives is to minimize wear and to prevent scuffing and welding between contacting surfaces.
- lead/sulfur-containing additives can be used.
- Extreme pressure lubricant compositions also contain a soap thickener, such as lithium 12-hydroxy stearate, which provides the grease with the desired physical and chemical structure.
- a soap thickener such as lithium 12-hydroxy stearate
- the grease should be able to maintain this structure in the bearing as long as possible under high temperature, vibratory and mechanical shearing action.
- the grease In cases where the soap structure is damaged the grease is no longer able to hold the oil in place, which will then drain away out of the bearing. As a consequence the lubricating properties of the grease are lost and the bearing service life is reduced considerably if the grease is not replenished at short intervals. Furthermore, the grease should be chemically non-aggressive with respect to the metal parts of the bearing, in particular with the above environment with high temperatures and vibration.
- a bismuth containing additive and especially an EP additive, a bismuth containing soap, or both can be used.
- a grease containing a bismuth additive is known from NLGI SPOKESMAN, Vol. 57, Nr. 2, May 1993, 0. ROHR "Bismuth, a new metallic but non-toxic replacement for lead as EP additive in greases", pages 6.50 - 13.57.
- a bismuth additive promotes the formation of a film on the rolling bearing metal surfaces and therefore could serve as a replacement for lead as extreme pressure additive in grease.
- the bismuth additive indeed appears to offer even better lubricating properties than a lead additive, in particular under high load, high temperature and high sliding speed conditions.
- the organo-bismuth compound functions as a corrosion inhibitor and as an antioxidant.
- the bismuth compound used according to the invention does not necessarily have to be an EP additive, i.e.:
- the invention therefore relates to the use of bismuth compounds in an extreme pressure lubricant for rolling bearing applications as an additive for extending the useful service life of rolling bearings.
- the invention relates to the use of a bismuth containing soap in an extreme pressure lubricant for rolling bearing applications for extending the useful service life of rolling bearings.
- a bismuth containing soap can be mixed with an oil and optionally one or more EP- or other additives. When a bismuth containing soap is used it is not strictly necessary to use Bi-containing or other EP-additives.
- these compounds are in general bismuth carboxylates of the formula (R-CO 2 ) 3 Bi, in which R is a branched, straight or cyclic alkyl group with 1-30 carbon atoms or an aryl, alkaryl or aralkyl group with 5-20 carbon atoms.
- Paraffinic bismuth carboxylates with 6-10 carbon atoms or naphthenic bismuth carboxylates are preferred, such as bismuth naphthenate and bismuth octoate.
- bismuth compounds as EP additives according to the invention is not limited to the bismuth compounds mentioned above, and other organo bismuth compounds can be used, such as the bismuth containing additives known from the above prior art, or compounds analogous to known lead/sulfur-EP additives, in which the lead is replaced by bismuth.
- the bismuth containing EP additives are used to partly or
- EP additives such as lead/sulfur additives or sulfur/phosphorous additives in extreme pressure lubricant compositions.
- the bismuth compound when used as an EP additive it can be added to the soap, the oil or to the already formed mixture of the oil and the soap thickener. Usually and preferably the additive is admixed with the oil.
- the bismuth containing EP additives are used in the usual amounts, in general the amount of bismuth will be 0,1-5 % by weight of the total lubricant composition. Mixtures of one or more bismuth compounds can be used, optionally in admixture with one or more other EP additives. Further conventional additives for lubricant compositions can be used in usual amounts, if desired.
- the bismuth containing EP additives can be soluble or non-soluble in the oil component of the lubricant composition.
- the bismuth containing EP additives can also be used in extreme pressure lubricant compositions, which contain for instance non-soap thickeners, such as polyurea-based compounds, polytetrafluorethylene or silicone as a thickener instead of a soap.
- non-soap thickeners such as polyurea-based compounds, polytetrafluorethylene or silicone as a thickener instead of a soap.
- this soap is usually a bismuth-salt of a fatty acid with 10-30 carbon atoms or a derivative thereof.
- the bismuth analogues of known soap-thickeners are used, in which the bismuth replaces the metal, i.e. barium, aluminium, calcium, lithium, sodium, strontium etc. Examples are bismuth stearate, bismuth tristearate, bismuth tripalmetate, bismuth trioleate and derivatives thereof, such as bismuth 12-hydroxy stearate.
- the bismuth soap can contain the same or different fatty acid groups. Also mixtures of bismuth containing soaps can be used.
- the bismuth containing soap is used in the usual amounts, depending upon the desired properties of the final lubricant composition. In general, this amount will vary between 5-14 % by weight of the total composition for a "soft" grease to 15-25 % by weight of the total composition for a "stiff" grease.
- the bismuth containing soap can also be used in combination with known soaps containing other metals, such as lithium-soaps or calcium-soaps in a grease formulation. This will reduce the costs of the final extreme pressure lubricant composition.
- the invention furthermore relates to a method for preparing an extreme pressure lubricant composition in which a bismuth containing soap or thickener is mixed with an oil and optionally one or more EP- or other additives.
- a bismuth containing soap or thickener is mixed with an oil and optionally one or more EP- or other additives.
- the mixing of the soap, the oil and the thickener can be carried out in a manner known per se for the preparation of EP greases from the prior art.
- a bismuth containing EP additive as mentioned above is used.
- the bismuth containing soap, the oil and the EP additives and other additives are used in the usual amounts.
- the bearing service life is further increased by the favourable influence of the bismuth additive on stress corrosion and fatigue life.
- Non-limiting example 2 illustrates the preparation of a bismuth-containing soap of the invention.
- the grease samples 1, 2 and 4 are further described in Table 2.
- Grease samples 1, 2 and 4 above were subsequently applied for bearing life tests under high load and high temperature conditions as listed below in Table 1: Bearing type Deep groove ball bearing (DGBB 6206 2RS1) Speed 2500 rpm Radial load 6000 N Test temperature 120 ⁇ 2°C (outer ring) Grease filling 2,4 g Strategy sudden death factor group of 2, in which sets of two bearings are run simultaneously until one of the bearings fails. Type of failure Bearing noise (fatigue related) Temperature rise (grease failure) C/P 3,25 Kappa 0,75 (calculated on the base oil rheology and assuming fully flooded conditions). Grease Relubrication none
- Table 3 shows the bearing life test results of SKF LGEP2 (sample 4) and the two Bi-greases (samples 1 and 2). It shows that the observed L10 life of both bismuth greases is about 2 times longer than the reference grease LGEP2. Based on the statistical hypothesis test procedures, the comparison of L10 life between LGEP2 and the bismuth greases is classed as weakly significant i.e. the probability of significance is greater than 80%, but less than 90%. The test comparison of the L50 life between LGEP2 and sample 3 is statistically significant (i.e. >90% probability).
- Figure 2 shows the spectrum plot of a test bearing (#22). It can be seen that the frequency at 205 Hz is due to a ball defect, outer ring defect frequency is at 157 Hz, and the 230 Hz frequency is attributed to inner ring defect. Post investigation of the failed bearing confirmed the spectrum data. In general, all the failed bearings due to rolling contact fatigue were detected and recorded by the SKF CoMo monitoring system.
- Figure 3 shows a time trend versus the overall spectrum energy value plot for a bearing (#23). This was the criterion used to terminate the test automatically when the overall value increase to a set alarm level (A2) as shown.
- Figure 4 illustrates a plot of temperature recorded versus time. The machine of a test group bearings (#3 and #4) stopped due to a sudden increase in temperature of bearing #3 after approximately 680 hours of running.
- Grease samples 1 and 2 have also been shown to give better shear stability than grease sample 4 containing S/P additive.
- the poor results for sample 4 are due to the softening of grease structure, resulting an excessive oil leakage from the grease.
- sample 3 prolonges the roller bearing life of flange-roller bearings and avoids the possible adverse effect of an S/P EP additive on fatigue life.
- the bismuth soap is prepared as other metal soaps such as lead soap. This preparation can be carried out in either an open vessel or an autoclave.
- Normal bismuth base grease can be prepared by:
- the mixed complex bismuth base lubricating greases can also be prepared according to the preparation technology of other metal soaps such as lead or lithium.
