Definitions

  • This invention relates to improved lubricants, more particularly, it relates to aqueous base lubricants designed especially for use in hot rolling non-ferrous metals, such as aluminum, and for the metal working of ferrous m tals as Well.
  • non-soluble oils such as straight mineral oils or their emulsions are unsatisfactory as lubricants for the hot rolling of nonferrous metals such as aluminum.
  • Straight mineral oils or composite mineral oils lack the required cooling properties since the temperature encountered during the hot rolling of aluminum is in the range of from about 300 F. to about 900 F.
  • emulsions have been tried for this purpose, but although they are good coolants they cause staining of the worked surfaces and also cause so-called metal pick-up. This phenomenon is the appearance of nodules or aecretions of metal on the surfaces of the rolls. The accretions build up, causing sticking and de formation, which at times become serious enough to cause shut-down and require regrinding of the rolls. In addition to the loss of time and money, spoilage and waste of metal are the results of improper lubrication.
  • compositions comprising aqueous solutions or suspensions of certain polyalkylene glycols showed improvements in certain aspects, particularly in the hot working of non-ferrous metals.
  • these compositions eX- hi'bited borderline corrosion characteristics and, more over, resulted in a rolled sheet having a relatively dull appearance, although somewhat improved from the appearance of sheets rolled by the use of still earlier lubricating compositions.
  • a lubricating composition comprising a major proportion of water together with three essential additives:
  • the first additive is present in an amount between about 0.05 and 10% by Weight of the composition and is a water-soluble (hydrophilic) monoether of a polyoxyalkylene liquid compound having an inverse separation temperature relationship, a viscosity at 100 F. SUS of about 500-1500, and an average molecular weight between about 1000 and 10,000.
  • the second essential additive is a hydrophobic monoalkyl ether block polymer of polyoxypropylene and polyoxyethylene compounds utilized in an amount of ODS-10% by weight of the composition.
  • This I Patented June 26, 1962 block polymer contains in its structure hydrophobic polyoxypropylene groups and hydrophilic polyoxyethylene groups, the hydrophobic groups constituting at least about 20% by weight of the copolymer, which has an average molecular weight in the range from about 1000 to about 10,000.
  • the third essential component of this composition comprises 0.01-5 by weight thereof of a hydrophilie polyoxyalkylene compound having an average molecular weight less than about 500, exclusive of terminal radieals.
  • the combination of the first of these additives with Water results in a composition which has limited use as a hot-rolling lubricant for non-ferrous metals; while it allows for satisfactory hot rolling, it results in a certain amount of corrosion of the rolls and the metal surface is relatively dull, or at least is not as bright in finish as is now desired.
  • the substitution of the second component for the first in an aqueous system results in a twophase composition which exhibits separation unless this is corrected by the presence of emulsifying agents.
  • the incompatibilityv of the two constituents namely, the hydrophobic block polymer and water, sometimes causes gelling of the composition, with attendant difiiculties in its handling and use.
  • the composition which results is so high in lubricity that the roll will not bite into the ingot and, therefore, the latter must be forced between the rolls in order to effect a passage therethrough.
  • the hydrophilic monoether of the polyoxyalkylene liquid compound is one having a negative eoefiicient O-f solubility.
  • a hydrophilic mon'oalkyl ether of a hetero polyoxyalkylene liquid compound which is completely (3-10%) soluble in water at temperatures up to about 40 C. and'which separates out of water,

  • An aluminum hot rolling lubricant composition comprising (1) a major amount of water, (2) 0.l5% by weight of a hydrophilic monobutyl ether of a heteric copolymer of approximately equal weights of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide and having a viscosity of 600-750 SUS at F., (3) 0.l5% by weight of a hydrophobic monobutyl ether of a block polymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, each block having a unit molecular weight between about 200 and 500, the average molecular weight of the block polymer being between about 200 and 3,500 and containing approximately 15% by weight of polyoxyethylene blocks, and (4) 0.054% by weight of the dioleate of a polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of 250-350.
  • a composition according to claim 1 containing in addition 0.05 %-2% by weight of an alkali metal salt of a fatty acid having 16-30 carbon atoms per molecule.
  • composition according to claim 2 containing 0.052% by weight of sodium oleate.
  • An aluminum hot rolling lubricant comprising (1) about 1% by weight of a hydrophilic monobutyl ether of a heteric copolymer of approximately equal weights of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide and having a viscosity of 600750 SUS at 100 F., (2) about 1% by weight of a hydrophobic monobutyl ether of a block polymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, each block having a unitmolecular weight between about 200 and 500, the average molecular weight of the block polymer being between about 200 and 3,500 and containing approximately 15% by weight of polyoxyethylene blocks, (3) a mixture of about 0.1% by weight each of the dioleate of a polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of 250-350 and sodium oleate and the balance being water.
