Definitions
- the present invention relates to a lubricated engine part composition with a partial hard surface coating of average thickness in combination with detergents and an oil of lubricating viscosity.
- the composition has improved antiwear performance and/or decreased filter plugging.
- lubricating oils to contain a number of additives used to protect the engine from wear, the accumulation of sludge and filter plugging.
- Common additives for engine lubricating oils are zinc alkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP) an antiwear additive, and overbased calcium sulphonate detergents. It is believed that ZDDP antiwear additives protect the engine by forming a protective film on metal surfaces. Typical treatment quantities of ZDDP range from 1 to 2 weight percent based on the total weight of the lubricant. Detergents such as overbased calcium sulphonate help keep the engine parts clean of soot and other deposits, and offer an alkalinity reserve.
- Typical treatment quantities of detergents range from 0.05 to 10 weight percent based on the total weight of the lubricant.
- phosphates and sulphonates derived from engine lubricants have been shown to contribute in part to particulate emissions.
- sulphur and phosphorus tend to poison the NO x catalysts used in catalytic converters, resulting in a reduction in performance of said catalysts. Any reduction in the performance of catalytic converters tends to result in increased amounts of greenhouse gases such as nitric oxide and/or sulphur oxides.
- reducing the amount phosphates and sulphonates by decreasing the amount of ZDDP and/or calcium sulphonate detergents will increase the amount of wear in an engine especially on engine parts with high loading for instance in the valve train and increase the amount of sludge formed.
- reducing the amount phosphates and sulphonates will decrease filter plugging because divalent metals such as zinc and calcium are known to help form material capable of plugging filters, for instance, sulphonated ash.
- the valve train metal parts are often iron or steel and these are chemically or physically modified to provide better antiwear performance. The process often involves heating the metal part to above about 600°C followed by rapid cooling (or quenching) in water and/or an oil of lubricating viscosity.
- the metal part is then suitable for use and provides good protection against wear in the presence of antiwear additives such as ZDDP.
- ZDDP has the disadvantages mentioned above. Therefore there is a need for an engine part to be lubricated with a composition capable of reducing sulphur and phosphorus content without having an adverse effect on antiwear performance, sludge formation or increased filter plugging. It would be desirable to have a lubricated part capable of decreasing wear of said part.
- the present invention provides a lubricated part capable of decreasing wear of said part. It would be desirable to have a lubricated part capable of decreasing filter plugging.
