Abstract

The present invention relates to a non-staining lubricating composition for use in metal working machines, comprising, based on the total weight of the composition, from 1 to 99,5% of a benzene alkylate.
The invention also relates to a process for rolling stainless steel, copper, copper alloys, aluminium and aluminium alloys and to the use of the non-staining lubricating composition to lubricate the moving or turning parts of a stainless steel, copper, copper alloys, aluminium and aluminium alloys rolling mill.

Description

  • The present invention relates to a non-staining lubricating composition for use in metal working machines and to a process for rolling stainless steel, copper, copper alloys, aluminium and aluminium alloys.
  • Lubricating compositions are used in various machines like mills, in which they serve to lubricate metal parts which are in contact and have a relative movement, like for instance bearings.
  • When used in mills, the lubricating compositions sometimes come into contact with the rolled metal, which usually leads to metal staining and in some instances causes the rolled metal sheets to stick together.
  • International patent application n° WO 91/06619 discloses the use of a composition comprising a saturated aliphatic monohydric alcohol having from 14 to 18 carbon atoms and optionally a polybutene, petroleum jelly or butyl stearate, as a solid lubricant in the cold working of a metal workpiece.
  • It has also been proposed in British patent applications No. 964,268 and No. 1,109,304, US patents No. 4,488,979, No. 4,228,217, No. 2,899,390, and No. 2,621,159 to use polyisobutenes as alternatives to mineral oils in metal working, where staining must be avoided.
  • However, these compositions or compounds do not have satisfactory viscosity-shearing characteristics (the viscosity being highly influenced by the shearing rate but decreasing sharply at a given value of the shearing rate) and/or non-sticking properties.
  • The invention therefore provides a non-staining lubricating composition having high non-staining properties whilst having high lubricity and non-sticking properties.
  • Thus, the invention provides a non-staining lubricating composition comprising, based on the total weight of the composition, from 1 to 99,5%, preferably from 70 to 99%, of a benzene alkylate.
  • The invention further provides a process for preparing the non-staining lubricating composition of the invention.
  • The invention also provides a process for lubricating the moving or turning metal parts of a stainless steel, copper, copper alloys, aluminium and aluminium alloys rolling mill, comprising applying an effective amount of the composition of the invention to said moving or turning parts.
  • In addition, the invention provides the use of the non-staining lubricating composition of the invention to lubricate the moving or turning parts of a stainless steel, copper, copper alloys, aluminium and aluminium alloys rolling mill.
  • The invention is now disclosed in more details in the following specification and in reference to the accompanying drawings in which :
  • Figure 1 is a photograph showing the results of a rolling test performed with a lubricant of the prior art;
  • Figure 2 is a photograph showing the results of a rolling test performed with the lubricating composition of the invention.
  • The benzene alkylate of the non-staining lubricating composition of the invention may be a dialkyl benzene wherein the alkyl groups are identical or different from each other and have from 12 to 40 carbon atoms.
  • Examples of benzene alkylates include benzene 1,2 didodecane, benzene 1,4 dicetane, benzene 1-nonadecane, and benzene 4-eicosane.
  • The preferred benzene alkylates are benzene dialkylates, wherein the alkyl groups have from 24 to 34 carbon atoms. Most preferred is a mixture comprising :
    • 50 weight percent of a benzene dialkylate wherein both alkyl groups have 24 carbon atoms; and
    • 50 weight percent of a benzene dialkylate wherein both alkyl groups have 34 carbon atoms.
  • The benzene alkylate typically has a viscosity from 5 to 1000 cSt at 40°C, preferably from 22 to 460 cSt at 40°C.
  • The non-staining lubricating composition of the invention may comprise conventional additives, such as surfactants, coupling agents or cosurfactants, friction reducing agents or lubricity agents, corrosion inhibitors or anti-oxidants, extreme-pressure and anti-wear agents, anti-foaming agents, anti-rust agents.
  • Examples of anti-foaming agents are silicone based, especially polydimethylsiloxane.
  • Examples of corrosion inhibitors are hindered phenols and zinc dialkyldithiophosphates (ZDDP).
  • Examples of extreme-pressure and anti-wear agents are dilauryl phosphate, didodecyl phosphite, trialkylphosphate such as tri(2-ethylhexyl)phosphate, tricresylphosphate (TCP), zinc dialkyl(or diaryl)dithiophosphates (ZDDP), phospho-sulphurized fatty oils, zinc dialkyldithiocarbamate), mercaptobenzothiazole, sulphurized fatty oils, sulphurized terpenes, sulphurized oleic acid, alkyl and aryl polysulphides, sulphurized sperm oil, sulphurized mineral oil, sulphur chloride treated fatty oils, chlornaphta xanthate, cetyl chloride, chlorinated paraffinic oils, chlorinated paraffin wax sulphides, chlorinated paraffin wax, and zinc dialkyl(or diaryl)dithiophosphates (ZDDP), tricresylphosphate (TCP), trixylylphosphate (TXP), dilauryl phosphate, respectively.
  • Examples of corrosion inhibitors or anti-oxidants are radical scavengers such as phenolic antioxidants (sterically hindered), aminic antioxidants, organo-copper salts, hydroperoxides decomposers, butylated hydroxytoluene.
  • Examples of anti-rust agents are amine derivative of alkenyl succinic anhydride.

  • The non-staining lubricating composition of the invention is prepared by blending the benzene alkylate and the other ingredients, preferably whilst stirring and controlling the temperature so that is does not exceed 50°C, and more preferably, 40°C. Any mixing device can be used.
  • The non-staining lubricating composition of the invention can be used on various metal working machines, to lubricate moving or turning parts, like bearings, ball bearing, gears, etc.

  • The resistance to shearing according to CEC L-14-A-78 was found to be significantly improved for the oil composition of the invention.
  • Lubricity according to the "FZG" (Forschungstellefür Zahnräder und Getriebe) test DIN 51354 Part 1 is significantly improved with the oil composition of the invention (FZG failure load of 11 whereas a FZG failure load of 10 was obtained with the oil composition of the prior art).
  • A viscosity loss of 10 to 20% is generally observed for oil compositions of the prior art.
