CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION This application is a continuation of copending applica tion, Ser. No. 682,651, filed Nov. 13, 1967, now abandoned.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention pertains to petroleum oils containing additives that are used as hydraulic fluids in numerous hydraulic power applications in ships and submarines. Gross contamination of the fluids with sea water may occur. Therefore, protection of the hydraulic systems and fluids against deterioration is required. The fluids must form tight sea Water-in-oil emulsions, provide hydrolytic stability, antiwear, antirust, anticorrosion, oxidation stability, and continue performance as a power transmission fluid, when so contaminated, as specified in MIL-L- 17672D.
Known compounded petroleum oils used as hydraulic fluids were unsatisfactory in their ability to form tight sea water-in-oil emulsions or were hydrolytically unstable so that damage to the hydraulic systems occurred.
SUMMARY The hydraulic fluids of the invention consist of a petroleum lubricating oil containing a unique combination of additives that are stable against hydrolysis at elevated temperatures occurring during use of the fluid, compatible with sea water to minimize salt precipitation, and overcome corrosive effects resulting from the aqueous ionic ice mixtures that form from salt water contamination. The additive combination further provides maximum protection against corrosion of bronze parts in the hydraulic system, minimal effect upon rubber seals, and produces tight sea water-in-oil emulsions (i.e. no free water shall separate after 24 hours at 130 F.) for continued performance of the fluid after contamination. The viscosity of the fluid is dependent upon the specific power transmission requirement, and is generally in the range of about 12-220 cs. at 100 F.
Hydraulic fluids, having a viscosity of about 12-220 cs. at 100 -F., of the invention consist of the following ingredients:
(a) About 4-8 volume percent of a mineral oil solution of about 35-45 weight percent of the condensation product of (i) 1 mole of a monoalkylphenol wherein the alkyl group has about -120 carbon atoms, (ii) 1 mole of tetraethylenepentaamine, and (iii) 2 moles of formaldehyde, said solution containing about 1.0-1.5 percent nitro- (b) Zero to about 0.5 volume percent of polyoxyethylene lauryl alcohol having about four oxyethylene groups;
(c) About 1.6-1.7 volume percent of a mineral oil solution of about 40-45 weight percent calcium sulfonate, said solution having a total base number of about 15-30;
(d) About 0.25-0.35 volume percent of 2,6-di-(t-buty1)- paracresol;
(e) About 0.035-0.045 volume percent of bis-(octyldi thio)-thiadiazole;
(f) Zero to about 0.7 volume percent of paraflin Waxnaphthalene condensation product;
(g) About 0.1-0.4 volume percent of a methylnaphthalene solution of about 4.8 weight percent of N,N'-dimethyldithiooxamide;
(h) About 3-5 parts by million of silicone oil foam depressant having a viscosity of about 1000 cs. at 25 C; and
(i) The balance a petroleum lubricating oil having a viscosity of about 60-920 SSU at F.
Petroleum lubricating oils suitable for use in the hydraulic fluids of the invention are highly refined and stable commercially available oils having viscosities in the range of about 60 SSU (about 10 cs.) to about 920 SSU (about 198 cs.) at 100 F. Selection and blending of the appropriate base oil(s) is readily determined by the desired functional viscosity of the hydraulic fluid.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The composition of exemplary low viscosity and high viscosity sea water compatible hydraulic fluids is set forth in Table I wherein the components are as identified above.
TABLE I.-COMPOSITION OF SEA WATER COMP B HYDRAULIC OILS ATI LE Composition, volume percent Low viscosity High viscosity fluid fluid Component:
1 Parts per million instead of volume percent. 3 Balance.
3 waxed, and hydrogenated SAE-IO Midcontinent oil. For the high viscosity fluid the base petroleum oil was 100 volume percent of a solvent extracted, dewaxed, hydrogenated and clayed SAE-ZO Midcontinent oil having a viscosity of about 360-390 SSU at 100 F.
Component (a) of the hydraulic fluids of the invention is a mineral oil (SAE-S grade) solution containing about 1.1-1.3 percent nitrogen and about 35-45 weight percent of the condensation product obtained by reacting (i) 1 mole of a monoalkylphenol wherein the alkyl group has about 90-120 carbon atoms, (ii) 1 mole of tetraethylenepentaamine, and (iii) 2 moles of formaldehyde, in the mineral oil solvent at a temperature of 3l0-320 F. for about 4 hours while continuously passing nitrogen through the mixture to remove water of reaction. The reaction mixture is filtered to remove any unreacted material and the filtrate adjusted by the addition of solvent oil to the appropriate nitrogen and weight contents. The alkylphenol is produced by conventional BF technique of alkylating phenol with a butylene polymer containing about 130-140 carbon atoms. Such alkylation is well known to the art and need not be further described.
The chemical and physical properties of the exemplary fluids as well as the MIL-L-17672D specifications therefor are set forth in Table II.

The pump test is used to ascertain protection against corrosion of steel and bronze metal parts in contact with sea water contaminated fluids. In this test, one gallon of fluid plus 375 ml. of synthetic sea 'water (ASTM Method F 665) is continuously circulated from a reservoir through a Pesco IP 349 P4 hydraulic pump, having steel gears and bronze bushings mated by previous operation, under controlled temperature conditions for hours with the pump operating at 1000:50 p.s.i.g., 3600150 r.p.m.,
at a flow rate of 33:0.3 eg.p.m., and pump inlet temperature of 140:5 F. At the end of the test the two steel gears and tour bronze bushings are removed and weighed to determine average weight loss of the parts, which weight loss is indicative of the corrosivity of the contaminated fluid.
It has been foundthat each of the enumerated additives, in the amounts recited, is essential for the production of petroleum base hydraulic fluids that will properly perform when contaminated with sea water and not be deleterious to the hydraulic system in which they are used.
