Definitions

• the present invention relates to a lubricant that decreases micropitting on metal surfaces.
• Wind turbines as an alternative renewable energy source are attracting more interest. Wind turbines produce electricity by converting mechanical to electrical energy.
• a gear box is typically situated between the rotor of the wind turbine and the generator. The high torque puts a large amount of stress on the gears and bearings in the gear box of these wind turbines.
• Gear box manufacturers are developing gears for industrial applications that are capable of providing increasing amounts of power.
• the increase in power is a requirement for premium industrial applications such as noted for wind turbine specifications.
• the increased power results in lubricants operating at higher loads and higher operating temperatures. Conventional lubricants in these operating environments may not adequately protect against wear, micropitting and/or scuffing.
• WO 00/01790 entitled “Mixed Phosphorus Compounds and Lubricants Containing the Same” assigned to The Lubrizol Corporation discloses a lubricating composition containing a major amount of oil of lubricating viscosity and combination of a di or tri hydrocarbyl phosphite, at least one reaction product of a di or tri hydrocarbyl phosphate and sulfur or a source of sulfur; at least one di or tri hydrocarbyl monothiophosphate; or a salt thereof; and at least one salt of a hydrocarbyl phosphoric acid ester.
• the lubricating compound provides antiwear properties and thermal stability.
• Micropitting is a form of fatigue and wear on metal surfaces resulting in the loss of material from repeated stress cycles acting on the metal surfaces. Micropitting damage occurs generally to bearings and gear teeth. Micropitting over time can lead to rapid wear, surface damage, reduced gear tooth accuracy, gear tooth fractures and increased noise.
• composition of the lubricant affects micropitting on the surfaces. Many lubricants reduce the friction between metal surfaces. It is desirable for an industrial lubricant to decrease the micropitting on the gears and bearings.
• the present invention provides for a lubricant to exhibit performance improvements and improve wear protection, in particular, to reduce micropitting on metal surfaces of industrial gears and bearings.
• the invention provides for an industrial lubricant composition

• Comparative example B and D did not fail at this load stage. However, Comparative example B had a much higher weight loss of the gears than example A, which means there was higher wear to the gear. Comparative example D failed at load stage 9 . Both of the inventive examples A and C did not fail at this load stage and demonstrated lower wear by not losing as much weight as related to the comparative examples B and D. Both inventive examples A and C demonstrated lower percentage micropitting then the comparative examples B and D, and had lower profile form deviation values which are the critical estimate of micropitting damage to the gear flanks.
