Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lubricant oil composition. More specifically, the present invention relates to a lubricant oil which can be separated immediately after it is mixed into a water-soluble cutting fluid, to readily remove the resultant floating oil components in separation by means of oil skimmers and the like.
  • Cutting oils are grouped into water-insoluble cutting fluids produced by adding oils, extreme pressure agents or the like to mineral oils, and water-soluble cutting fluids comprising a base oil, a surfactant, an extreme pressure agent and an oily agent, which are used after dilution with water.
  • water-soluble cutting fluids have greater cooling effects that the fluids are widely used.
  • sliding face oil In cutting or grinding metal workpieces, use is made of a lubricant oil called sliding face oil on the sliding surface between a slider supporting a grinding plate such as a blade and a pedestal guiding surface, the sliding face oil being capable of moving the grinding plate in a smooth fashion even if friction is generated between the grinding plate and the workpiece to prevent stickslip phenomena.
  • stickslip preventive agents such as phosphate ester, fatty acids and fatty acid esters, are added to base oils so as to provide stickslip preventive properties.
  • an antioxidant e.g., a metal deactivator, an extreme pressure agent and a tackifier may be added to the sliding face.
  • a water-soluble cutting fluid When a water-soluble cutting fluid is used on cut or ground portions of a workpiece, the water-soluble cutting fluid after use is transferred into a reservoir tank together with a part of a leaked sliding face oil.
  • lubricant oils such as hydraulic-actuated oils and other tooling oils may frequently contaminate such water-soluble cutting fluids.
  • the water-soluble cutting fluids are separated from such lubricant oils to be recycled for use. Because water-soluble cutting fluids contain a large quantity of a surfactant, however, the lubricant oil contaminating the water-soluble cutting fluids forms emulsion, which often causes difficulty in separating the lubricant oil.
  • the lubricant oil contaminating the water-soluble cutting fluid markedly deteriorates the properties of the water-soluble cutting fluid thereby shortening the life and causing poor work environment due to an offensive odor through rot and so on. Therefore, the development of a lubricant oil which can be separated immediately after its contamination into a water-soluble cutting fluid has been expected.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a lubricant oil, which can separate and float immediately after its contamination into a water-soluble cutting fluid without forming stable emulsion and which can be removed readily from the water-soluble cutting fluid by means of an oil skimmer and the like.
  • the present invention is a lubricant oil comprising a minor portion of a calcium sulfonate, barium sulfonate, or mixture therein being neutral or having a lower base number, and a straight chain univalent fatty acid having a specific number of the carbon atoms and a major portion of a base oil.
  • the lubricating oil composition has excellent properties of separating from water soluble cutting fluids.
  • the present invention is to provide:
  • the kinematic viscosity of the base oil to be used in the lubricant oil composition of the present invention may be 10 to 500 mm 2 /s, preferably 30 to 70 mm 2 /s at 40°C. If the kinematic viscosity is less than 10 mm 2 /s at 40°C, stickslip may occur on a sliding surface during low-speed operation. If the kinematic viscosity exceeds 500 mm 2 /s at 40°C, the floating of the table may be problematic.
  • the viscosity index of the base oil to be used in the lubricant oil composition in accordance with the present invention may be preferably 50 to 150, more preferably 100 to 120. If the viscosity index is less than 50, the viscosity change of the lubricant oil composition by temperature is so large that a change in the frictional properties may possibly be brought about.
  • the viscosity stability above the viscosity index of 150 is not required under the lubricating conditions at a temperature from room temperature to 50°C for use.
  • the kinematic viscosity and viscosity index of the base oil can be determined according to JIS K 2283.
  • the base oil to be used in the lubricant oil composition of the present invention has an aromatic component content of 20 wt% or less and a pour point of -10°C or less. If the content of aromatic components exceeds 20 wt%, the lubricant oil composition may potentially swell sealing rubber. If the pour point exceeds -10°C, the pouring properties may get poor at lower temperatures.
  • the base oil to be used in the lubricant oil composition of the present invention may be selected appropriately from known mineral oils and synthetic oils, if such oils may satisfy the above requirements.

  • Such wear preventive agents include for example dibenzyl disulfide, polysulfide, sulfurized fat and oil, sulfide ester, phosphate ester, phosphite ester, thiophosphate ester, zinc thiophosphate, zinc thiocarbamate and the like.
  • Such friction adjusters include for example polyhydric alcohol partial ester, amine, amide, sulfide ester, sulfurized fat and oil, phosphate ester, phosphate ester amine salt, phosphite ester and organic molybdenum compounds and the like.
  • Such metal deactivators include for example 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole and benzotriazole series and the like.
  • Such extreme pressure agents include for example olefin sulfide.
  • Such rust preventives include for example dinonyl naphthalene calcium sulfonate basic salt, dinonyl naphthalene barium sulfonate basic salt and the like.
  • Such viscosity index improving agents include for example polymethacrylate series, polyisobutylene series, ethylene-propylene copolymer series, styrene-butadiene hydrogenation copolymer series and the like.
  • the aforementioned additives may be blended at a ratio of 0.01 to 5.0 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight of the base oil.
  • the lubricant oil composition of the present invention exerts the extremely great separation properties when used in combination with a cutting fluid prepared by diluting a water-soluble cutting fluid with water.
  • the water-soluble cutting fluid defined by JIS K2241 includes an emulsion type, soluble type and chemical solution type.
  • the lubricant oil composition of the present invention has excellent separation properties for any of the types.
  • a cutting fluid use was made of a commercially available emulsion-type water-soluble cutting fluid (manufactured by Yushio Chemical Co., Ltd.) thirtyfold diluted with ion exchanged water.
  • the cutting fluid and a simple lubricant oil were weighed and picked up into a test tube such that the cutting fluid and sample lubricant oil were 40 ml in volume, respectively, at the test temperature.
  • the test tube was placed and held in a constant temperature bath kept at the test temperature.
  • a stirring plate was placed in the center of the test tube to stir up at the rate of 1500 ⁇ 15 revolutions per minute for just 5 minutes. After the completion of stirring, the inside of the test tube was observed from the side face to record the volumes of the oil layer, the cutting fluid layer, and the emulsified layer every 10 minutes over 60 minutes. All the kinematic viscosities of the sample lubricant oils prepared in the present Examples and Comparative Examples were within 28.8 to 90 mm 2 /s at 40°C. The test temperature was set at 54 ⁇ 1°C.
  • a sample lubricant oil was prepared by blending 0.2 parts by weight of di-t-butyl-p-cresol as an antioxidant, 0.5 parts by weight of dibenzyl disulfide as a wear preventive agent, 2 parts by weight of the salt of di-iso-octyl phosphate and monotetradecylamine as a friction adjuster, 0.5 parts by weight of calcium sulfonate (neutral salt) and 0.3 parts by weight of palmitic acid, to 100 parts by weight of a mineral oil series base oil having a kinematic viscosity of 68.0 mm 2 /s at 40°C.
  • sample lubricant oil compositions were prepared to carry out the demulsibility test. The results are shown in Table 1.
  • the lubricant oil of Comparative Example I blended with palmitic acid and no sulfonate does not separate an oil layer in the course of 60 minutes.
  • the lubricant oil of Comparative Example 2 blended with a calcium sulfonate (neutral salt) and no straight chain fatty acid both of an oil layer and a cutting fluid do fall short of 30 ml in volume even in the course of 60 minutes.
  • the lubricant oil composition of the present invention exerts excellent separation properties from a cutting fluid prepared by diluting a water-soluble cutting fluid. Therefore, the composition so readily separates and floats in a reservoir tank for the cutting fluid that the composition can be removed simply by means of an oil skimmer and the like. Thus, the properties of the water-soluble cutting fluid can be maintained for a long term, with no occurrence of poor work environment due to rot and so on.
