BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a multifunctional lubricant additive composition or package for improving the performance characteristics of a lubricant. More particularly, the present invention relates to a multifunctional
lubricant additive composition or package for providing a lubricant with superior performance characteristics such as improved load-carrying ability, anti-scuffing (anti-scoring) capacity, friction reduction, and improved surface- fatigue life.
2. Description of Related Art
Mechanical systems such as manual or automatic transmissions; single and multi-speed aviation transmissions, including but not limited to those used to propel rotorcraft and those used to alter the rotational speed of the sections within gas turbine engines; push-belt type continuous variable transmissions; and traction drive continuous variable transmissions, have large surface areas of contact portions or zones. These contact portions or zones, such as drive rolling surfaces, and gear and ball-and roller bearings, are known to be susceptible to high surface pressures. In addition, internal combustion engines and other propulsion devices, especially those that are common for high-performance and racing applications, are subject to taxing demands in the form of inertial loading, high sliding and/or rolling speeds, and marginal lubrication. Moreover, the need for reducing friction, resistance, and fatigue within larger contact zones of mechanical systems is increased by many recently developed transmission systems that are designed to be miniaturized or weight-reduced to maximize transmission throughput capacity.
To address these severe application demands, lubricants, especially those containing specific additives, play a critical role in protecting and minimizing the wear and scuffing (scoring) of surfaces. The lubricants generally reduce principal damage accumulation mechanisms of lubricated components caused by surface fatigue and overloading.
Examples of known lubricants are discussed in the following publications, which are hereby incorporated in full by reference: Phillips, W.

Formulation #4
In this embodiment, a multifunctional additive package was added to Hatco HXL-7994 oil to create Formulation #4. Hatco HXL-7994 oil was specially prepared by Hatco to replicate Exxon-Mobil Jet Oil II, but without Exxon-Mobil Jet Oil ll's anti-wear additive tricresyl phosphate (TCP). Hatco HXL-7994 oil contains an anti-oxidant package and a yellow metal corrosion inhibitor and uses a 5 cSt polyol ester base stock, HXL-1570, having the typical properties noted in Table A below.
TABLE A. Properties of HXL-1570
Formulation #4 contained the following additives:
This multifunctional additive package of Formulation #4 increased the load-carrying capacity of the Hatco HXL-7994 oil by about 3.94 times, which is superior to conventional oils such as Exxon-Mobil Jet Oil Il (a standard version of MIL-PRF-23699, a 5 cSt gas turbine engine oil), which typically has excellent lubricant performance as compared to other brands and versions of MIL-PRF-23699 oil. As can be seen in the figure, the Hatco HXL-7994 oil 10 had an average scuffing (scoring) failure load stage of about 5.7 (arrow 11 ), the Exxon-Mobil Jet Oil Il 20 had an average scuffing (scoring) failure load
stage of about 19.2 (arrow 21 ), and Formulation #4 30 had an average scuffing (scoring) failure load stage of about 22.5 (arrow 31 ), which indicates that Formulation #4 has a load carrying capacity about 3.94 times greater than that of the Hatco HXL-7994 oil.
Experimental Results
The experimental results for Formulation #4 of this invention and the two reference oils (Hatco HXL-7994 oil and Exxon-Mobil Jet Oil II) were obtained using a generally accepted modified variation of the Wedeven Associates, Inc. WAM Load Capacity Test Method ("WAM Test"). The WAM Test is designed to evaluate the loading capacity of lubricants and load bearing surfaces by evaluating the wear, tear, and scuffing (scoring) thereof over a large temperature range.
Table B below shows a summary of the WAM Test conditions that were utilized to test various lubricants of this invention.
TABLE B.

For a detailed description of the WAM Test, see WAM High Speed Load Capacity Test Method, SAE Aerospace AIR4978, Revision B, 2002,
and U.S. Patent No. 5,679,883 to Wedeven, both of which are hereby incorporated in full by reference.
High load-carrying oils frequently result in test suspension at load stage 30 without a scuffing (scoring) event. To differentiate candidate formulations that reach test suspension, tests can be run with a modified test protocol. The modified test protocol operates at a lower entraining velocity than the standard test protocol, which reduces the EHD film thickness and increases the test severity by causing greater asperity interaction. The test essentially operates at a reduced film thickness to surface roughness (h/σ) ratio.
The modified test protocol was developed for high load-carrying oils used for aviation gearboxes. These oils include the DOD-PRF-85734 oils for the U.S. Navy and the Def Stan 91-100 oils for the U.K. Ministry of Defense. With the modified test protocol, the highest load-carrying oils currently used in military aircraft experience scuffing (scoring) failures at load stages that range from approximately 19 to 28.
AISI 9310 specimen preparation:
Formulation #4, the Hatco HXL-7944 oil, and the Exxon-Mobil Jet Oil Il were comparatively evaluated for scuffing (scoring) resistance using a load capacity test method developed for the US Navy. The test method used ball and disc specimens. The ball specimens were 13/16-inch diameter, and the disc specimens were 4 inches in diameter and Vz inch thick. Material composition, hardness and surface finish were closely controlled. The specimens were fabricated from AISI 9310 steel, a surface-carburizing alloy that is very common for gear applications.
AISI 9310 balls, or "Hard Ground" balls were heat-treated and ground in a ball manufacturing process. The balls were fabricated through the hard grinding stage. The surface finish following this operational stage was between about 10-12 microinch Ra.
The composition, hardness and surface finish of the specimens are given below:
Scuffing (Scoring) Results:
The scuffing (scoring) results of Formulation #4, the Hatco HXL-7944 oil, and the reference oil Exxon-Mobil Jet Oil II) are summarized in Table C and shown in the figure.

UTLCC5 UTLCC5-9a 9-10a/3 3 7 15 19.2 Jet Oil II
The load carrying capacity is indicated by an average scuffing (scoring) failure stage (load stage). Increased performance is observed with higher load stages. As shown in Table C, our experimental results show that the average scuffing (scoring) failure stage of Formulation # 4 is about 22.5. This scuffing (scoring) load is 3.94 times greater than that of the Hatco HXL-7944 oil, which delivered an average scuffing (scoring) failure stage of 5.7. The load carrying capacity of Formulation #4 is also superior to that of Exxon-Mobil Jet Oil II, which delivered an average scuffing (scoring) failure stage of 19.2.
While the embodiments described above are directed to lubricants of the polyol ester (POE) type, a skilled artisan would recognize that the compositions apply equally to other lubricant stock compositions including, but not limited to, lubricants comprising grease, mineral (hydrocarbon-based), polyalkylene glycol (PAG), aromatic naphthalene (AN), alkyl benzenes (AB) and polyalphaolefin (PAO) types.
It should therefore be understood that the foregoing description is only illustrative of the present invention. A skilled artisan, without departing from the present invention, can devise various alternatives and modifications.
Accordingly, the present invention is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications and variations that fall within the scope of the appended claims.
