Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of lubricating compositions for a propulsion system of an electric or hybrid vehicle. It relates more particularly to the use of compounds of triazole type, as additives for improving the anti-corrosion properties of a lubricating composition incorporating one or more anti-wear additive (s) amine (s) and / or sulfur (s). .
  • the term “electric vehicle” is intended to denote a vehicle comprising an electric motor as the sole means of propulsion, unlike a hybrid vehicle which comprises a combustion engine and an electric motor as combined propulsion means. .
  • propulsion system within the meaning of the present invention, is meant a system comprising the mechanical parts necessary for the propulsion of an electric vehicle.
  • the propulsion system thus more particularly includes an electric motor, comprising the rotor-stator assembly of the power electronics (dedicated to speed regulation), a transmission and a battery.
  • lubricating compositions also called “lubricants”, for the main purposes of reducing the frictional forces between the various parts of the system. propulsion of the vehicle, especially between moving metal parts in engines.
  • lubricating compositions are also effective in preventing premature wear or even damage to these parts, and in particular to their surface.
  • a lubricating composition is conventionally composed of one or more base oil (s), which are generally associated with several additives dedicated to stimulating the lubricating performance of the base oil, such as, for example, friction modifying additives, but also to provide additional performance.
  • base oil s
  • additives dedicated to stimulating the lubricating performance of the base oil, such as, for example, friction modifying additives, but also to provide additional performance.
  • antioxidants are considered in order to reduce the wear of parts of the propulsion system, in particular of the mechanical parts of the engine, and thus to prevent degradation of the durability of the engine.
  • anti-wear additives for example, dimercaptothiadiazoles, polysulfides, in particular sulfur-containing olefins, amine phosphates, or else phospho-sulfur additives, such as metal alkylthiophosphates, in in particular zinc alkylthiophosphates, and more specifically zinc dialkyldithiophosphates or ZnDTP.
  • antiwear additives preference is given in particular to amine and / or sulfur antiwear agents, such as dimercaptothiadiazoles, zinc dithiophosphate or polysulphides.
  • the lubricant is insulating in order to avoid any failure in the electrical components.
  • a conductive lubricant can lead to a risk of electric current leakage from the stator and rotor windings, thus reducing the efficiency of the propulsion systems, and creating a possible overheating at the level of the electrical components, even up to 'damage the system. It is therefore crucial, in within the framework of the implementation of lubricants for power systems of electric or hybrid vehicles, that the lubricants have good “electrical” properties in addition to non-corrosive properties.
  • the present invention aims precisely to overcome this drawback.
  • the present invention relates to the use of at least one compound of triazole type, as an additive for improving the anti-corrosion properties of a lubricating composition, intended for a propulsion system of an electric or hybrid vehicle. and comprising one or more anti-wear additive (s) amine (s) and / or sulfur (s).

  • anti-corrosion additive is intended to denote an additive making it possible to prevent or reduce the corrosion of metal parts. An anti- corrosion thus makes it possible to confer good “anti-corrosion properties” on a composition containing it.
  • the corrosive (or corroding) power of a compound can be evaluated according to a test implementing the study of the variation in the value of the electrical resistance of a copper wire of a predetermined diameter, as a function of the duration immersing this yarn in a composition comprising, in a non-corrosive medium, for example in one or more base oils, said compound to be tested.
  • the variation in the value of this electrical resistance is correlated directly with the variation in the diameter of the wire tested.
  • a compound is qualified as “non-corrosive” when the loss in diameter of the copper wire studied is less than or equal to 0.5 mm after immersion for 80 hours, in particular less than or equal to. at 0.2 mm after immersion for 20 hours in the composition comprising said compound.
  • the dielectric properties of a lubricant are represented in particular by the electrical resistivity and the dielectric loss (tan d), and they can be measured according to standard IEC 60247.
  • Electrical resistivity represents the material's ability to oppose the flow of electric current. It is expressed in ohm-meter (W.ih). The resistivity should not be low to avoid electrical conduction.
  • the electrical dissipation factor or the tangent of the loss angle is the complementary angle of the phase shift between the applied voltage and the alternating current. This factor reflects the energy losses by the Joule effect. The temperature rises are therefore directly linked to the value of d.
