Description
SPECIFICATION
Traction Fluid Based on Mineral Oil
This invention relates to a traction fluid based on mineral oil.
The term "traction fluid" is used to identify a class of lubricants that give superior performance in traction drives. A traction drive transfers force from one rotating shaft to another through a rolling contact. Efficient transfer requires that a minimum amount of slippage occurs. This property is measured by the traction coefficient which is defined as force transmitted divided by the normal force which keeps the rolling members in contact.
The coefficient of traction as defined above, has been one of the prilne measurements used in defining useful traction fluids. Various studies have been made attempting to define the type of structures associated with higher traction properties. Thus, some of the more suitable structures which have been reported include U.S. Patent 3,411,369 which discloses fused, saturated carbon containing rings; U.S. Patent 3,440,894, which discloses organic compounds containing a saturated carbon containing ring or an acyclic structure having at least three quaternary carbon atoms; U.S. Patents 3,595,796 and 3,598,740 disclose the use of selected naphthenes and branched paraffins; and U.S.
Patent 3,843,537 discloses the use of naphthenes, partially saturated precursors of naphthenes, hydrorefined mineral oils, polyolefins and branched paraffins.
Generally, the structures defined in the literature as having good traction properties have not included aromatic constituents. This is exemplified by U.S. Patents 3,595,796; 3,598,740 and 3,843,537 which indicate the general undesirability of aromatic unsaturation as it relates to traction properties and the need to limit aromatic content to very low levels.
Detailed Description of the Invention
Now in accordance with this invention it has surprisingly been found that selected mineral oil compositions which contain significant amounts of aromatic constituents are particularly useful as traction fluid lubricants. More particularly, this invention is directed to a traction fluid having a lubricant basestock which comprises selected mineral oil compositions containing a saturate hydrocarbon fraction having at least about 35% by volume of multiring components of at least three rings and an aromatic fraction which comprises at least about 1 5% by weight of said composition and which fraction contains at least about 40% by volume of multiring aromatic components.
The ability to ascertain the surprising attributes of aromatic constituents in traction fluids was in part the result of a newly-developed technique for evaluating traction properties. This technique involved development of a traction index which is based on the rolling torque generated and the amount of slippage found in the rolling contact. Further details of this technique will be described in detail later on in the specification.
The mineral oil compositions on which the traction fluids of this invention are based are any of the commonly available petroleum basestock materials which comprise a range of different hydrocarbons of naphthenic, aromatic and paraffinic content. The selected mineral oil compositions are obtained from the starting mineral oils by separation into fractions having specified saturated and aromatic portions as will hereinafter be defined. Generally, this fractionation will be made by a technique such as thermal diffusion, a known separation procedure which is described for example in "Composition and Oxidation of Petroleum Fractions" by G. E. Cranton in Thermochemica Acta, 14 (1976) 201-208. Other techniques which can be used to produce the desired fractions can also be used.
The selected traction fluids of this invention contain lubricant basestock materials which are mineral oils selectively fractionated to yield a composition which contains a saturate fraction and an aromatic fraction. Generally the weight ratio of aromatics to saturates will be at least about 0.2:1, preferably at least about 0.3:1 and more preferably at least about 0.4:1. The saturate fraction will generally have a significant portion, i.e. greater than about 35% by volume, and preferably greater than about 50%, made up of multiring components of at least three rings. More particularly, the saturate fraction will have a volume ratio of multiring (three or more rings) to 12-ring components of at least 0.5:1, preferably at least about 1:1 and more preferably at least about 2:1.The aromatic fraction will generally comprise at least about 15% by weight of the composition, preferably at least about 20% and more preferably at least about 25% by weight. The aromatic fraction will contain at least about 40% by volume of multiring components having two or more rings, at least one of which is an aromatic ring, preferably at least about 60% and more preferably at least about 80% by volume.
The multiring portion of the aromatic fraction is generally comprised of naphthalenes, acenaphthene, fluorenes, phenanthrenes, mononaphthene benzenes and dinaphthene benzenes. It is understood that branched or substituted ring components are also included in the defined aromatic fraction. The saturate fraction will generally be comprised of 5 and 6 membered ring structures having various branched substituents. Generally, both the saturate and aromatic fraction will be comprised of a mixture of compounds each containing about 6 to about 100 carbon atoms. Each fraction will generally contain a variety of branched substituents and may contain small amounts of sulfur and nitrogen content.
In addition to the lubricant basestocks of this invention, additives designed to enhance specific properties of the traction fluids can be added to the composition. Such additives include, for example, V.l. improvers, antiwear agents, corrosion inhibitors, antioxidants, dispersants, etc. Generally additive amounts of up to about 20%, preferably up to about 10% by weight of the fluid may be used in the traction fluids.
As indicated earlier, the ability to ascertain the surprising traction properties resulting from materials containing significant aromatic constituents was aided by a new technique for evaluating such traction properties. A traction index (TI) which is based on the rolling torque generated and the amount of slippage found in the rolling contact was formulated to rate the different fluid materials.
Table I shows the parameters used in rating the material and as defined therein:
with the different torque and slip factors used in ascertaining TI being further defined in said Table I.
The traction data was obtained on a modified Roxanna four ball wear tester as described in ASTM
D 2266-67. The traction tester used had a Brown modification consisting of a hydraulic cylinder which applied a normal load and an air bearing which allowed for accurate frictional measurements.
Additionally, the tester had a machined pot which held a conforming race and allowed rolling contact to occur rather than the sliding contact required by the ASTM method (the bottom three balls in the four-ball pyramid were allowed to roll on a conforming race). This tester was evaluated as a means for determining the traction properties by selecting a series of materials whose coefficients of traction had been previously determined and measuring their traction properties on such a tester. As indicated in
Table II, the Traction Index (TI) gave a linear correlation with literature traction coefficients and was therefore a valid method of evaluating traction properties.
Further details and illustrations of this invention will be found in the following examples.
Example 1
A paraffinic Solvent 150 Neutral mineral oil having a viscosity of 12.3 cSt at 650 C, n, of 1.4756, and a Vl (viscosity index as determined by ASTM D2270) of 90 was used as the feed material.
The feed material was fractionated using batch thermal diffusion in laboratory scale units of the vertical cylinder type with each column furnished with ten ports with a mean slit diameter of 0.03 cm.
The total volume of each unit was 30 ml. The inner wall of the annulus was cooled by water to 57.2- 65.60C and the outer wall was electrically heated to 115.6-1 37.80C. Operation involved filling the column with feed, allowing a period of time (about 1 4 days) for separation and sampling the ports starting from the top. This was repeated until about 12 ml. was obtained for each fraction.
The resulting fractions were evaluated for traction properties and the results given in Table Ill.
Example 2
A naphthenic Solvent 60 Neutral mineral oil having a viscosity 4.38 cSt at 650C, n D of 1.4747 and a Vl of 68 was used as the feed material and fractionated in the same manner as the sample in
Example 1.
The resulting fractions were evaluated for traction properties and the results given in Table IV.
Example 3
A paraffinic Solvent 60 Neutral mineral oil having a viscosity of 4.60 cSt at 650C, n D of 1.4748 and a Vl of 37 was used as the feed material and fractionated in the same manner as the sample in
Example 1.
The resulting fractions were evaluated for traction properties and the results given in Table V.
These results show that the fractions identified in Tables Ill, IV and V as ports 8 to 10 are particularly suitable as traction fluids. Comparing these data to those of a current synthetic traction fluid (see Table II, Santotrac.50), shows that equivalent or better traction properties are achieved at
comparable viscosities.
Information regarding the analyses of the different fractions tested can be found in Tables Vi, Vll and VIII.
