Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a lubricating composition including at least one base oil, at least one compound including a dithiocarbamate group, at least one compound including a phosphite group, at least one compound including a dithiophosphate group and at least one compound including a thiadiazole group. The lubricating composition simultaneously exhibits good anti-wear properties, extreme-pressure, a low friction coefficient and good anti-seizing properties. The lubricating composition can be used for lubricating transmissions such as gearboxes, axles, preferably manual gearboxes of motor vehicles.
Description
- This application is a National Phase Entry of International Patent Application No. PCT/EP2014/066596, filed on Aug. 1, 2014, which claims priority to French Patent Application Serial No. 13 57 713, filed on Aug. 2, 2013, both of which are incorporated by reference herein.
- The present invention is applicable to the field of lubricants, and more particularly to the field of lubricants for motor vehicles, in particular to the field of lubricants for motor vehicle transmission components, in particular for manual gearboxes, axles or dual clutches. The invention relates to a lubricating composition comprising the combination of phosphorus-, sulphur- and phosphorus and sulphur-containing compounds with a corrosion inhibitor, as well as its preparation method. The lubricating composition according to the invention exhibits, in particular, good extreme-pressure and anti-wear properties, more particularly vis-à-vis the synchronizers present in the gearboxes, as well as a low friction coefficient.
- The present invention also relates to a method for reducing the wear of a mechanical part utilizing this lubricating composition. The present invention also relates to a method for reducing the seizing of a mechanical part utilizing this lubricating composition. The present invention also relates to a method for reducing the flaking of a mechanical part utilizing this lubricating composition. The present invention also relates to a standard additives-concentrate composition comprising the combination of phosphorus-, sulphur- and phosphorus and sulphur-containing compounds with a corrosion inhibitor.
- It is very difficult to formulate lubricating compositions simultaneously having good extreme-pressure properties, good anti-wear properties and good friction properties, as well as good anti-seizing properties. Thus most of the lubricating compositions have only two of these properties at once. Moreover, despite the existence of a large number of anti-wear additives, extreme-pressure additives or friction-modifying additives, not all have the same effectiveness, some being able to improve one property and at the same time make a second property worse. Similarly, the chemistry of these additives is complex and the additives can react with each other to form new chemical species the influence of which on the extreme-pressure, wear, friction and seizing properties is ultimately unknown.
- It is known that additives such as the diphosphites, which can be both friction modifiers and anti-wear components, react with the sulphur atoms contained in the extreme-pressure additives to form for example thiophosphonic derivatives, the properties of which are markedly different from those of the original molecules. Thus, a large number of extreme-pressure components react with the anti-wear additives or the friction modifiers in order to produce novel chemical entities. These reactions are not controlled, nor are the precise properties of the final product monitored over time. Interactions can occur between the different extreme-pressure/anti-wear additives/friction modifiers and lead to antagonistic effects on the final properties of the compositions containing additives.
- The documents US 2009/011964, U.S. Pat. No. 5,674,820 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,872,085 describe a lubricating composition comprising a compound comprising a dithiocarbamate group, a compound comprising a phosphite group and a compound comprising a dithiophosphate group. However, the presence of a compound comprising a dithiophosphate group may lead to significant wear of the synchronizers. Moreover, these documents do not describe the presence of a thiadiazole-type compound.
- Wear of the synchronizers present in a gearbox, and more particularly in manual gearboxes, is a significant and recurring problem. This type of wear in particular involves contacts other than steel/steel contacts, such as for example steel/brass contacts. Lubricating compositions making it possible to reduce wear of the synchronizers have been described.
- Thus, document WO 03/035810 describes a lubricating composition comprising a base oil, an amine salt of a phosphorus-containing acid, a metal salt of an organic acid. Moreover, the lubricating composition can also comprise a metal deactivator compound, which can be a dimercaptothiadiazole compound and a boron-based dispersant. However, this document does not describe the presence of compounds comprising a dithiocarbamate group or compounds comprising a dithiophosphate group. Furthermore, the lubricating composition described in this document must comprise less than 0.1% by weight of anti-wear/extreme-pressure non-metallic and sulphur-containing compounds, which can correspond to compounds comprising a dithiocarbamate group or to compounds comprising a dithiophosphate group.
- It would therefore be desirable to have available a lubricating composition, in particular for motor vehicles, which simultaneously have good extreme-pressure, friction and anti-wear properties, in particular vis-à-vis synchronizers, as well as good anti-seizing properties. It would also be desirable to have available a lubricating composition, in particular for motor vehicles, which is both stable and which has good extreme-pressure, friction, anti-wear and anti-seizing properties. It would also be desirable to have available a lubricating composition, in particular for motor vehicles, which limits the risks of flaking and which has good extreme-pressure, friction, anti-wear and anti-seizing properties.
- An objective of the present invention is to provide a lubricating composition overcoming all or some of the abovementioned drawbacks. Another objective of the invention is to provide a lubricating composition that is stable and easy to utilize. Another objective of the invention is to provide a lubricating method making it possible in particular to reduce the wear of the synchronizers in the gearboxes.

- Test No. 4: Evaluation of the Anti-Seizing Properties of Lubricating Compositions
- The objective of this test is to evaluate the anti-seizing properties of lubricating compositions. The anti-seizing properties of lubricating compositions No. 1, No. 5, No. 6 and No. 7 were evaluated by means of an FZG test according to the standard CEC L84 (A/16, 6R/120); the higher the value obtained at the end of the test, the better the anti-seizing properties. The results of this test with compositions No. 1, No. 5, No. 6 and No. 7 are described in Table VI.
-
TABLE VI Lubricating composition 1 5 6 7 Anti-seizing 10 10 7 7 - The results show that a lubricating composition according to the invention (composition No. 5) has anti-seizing properties which are equivalent, or even improved relative to lubricating compositions comprising a combination of a dithiocarbamate, a dithiophosphate and a phosphite but comprising no thiadiazole (compositions No. 1, No. 6 and No. 7).
- Test No. 5: Evaluation of the Anti-Flaking Properties of Lubricating Compositions
- The objective of this test is to evaluate the anti-flaking properties of lubricating compositions. For this, a FZG C6 test was carried out with lubricating compositions No. 1, No. 5, No. 6 and No. 7. The objective of this test is to evaluate the ability of a lubricating composition to protect gear surfaces against damage by flaking (pitting).
- Gears of the PT-C type were used and tested on an FZG machine. A constant rotation rate was fixed at 1440 rpm, also with a constant load (level 9). The temperature of the lubricating composition to be tested was set at 120° C. The test was then “run” initially for 8 h, then once the first grooves appeared on the teeth, the duration of these “runs” was reduced.
- The final aim is to determine the lifetime of a pinion lubricated with lubricating composition by evaluating the flaked surface on each tooth of the pinion. The failure criterion is reached when the surface comprising flakes for all of the teeth ≧1 mm2. The results are described in Table VII and are expressed in hours; the higher the value obtained, the longer the time before flakes appear on the surface of the pinion and therefore the better the anti-flaking properties.
