Definitions
- the present invention relates to grease compositions for use in the homokinetic joints of transmission lines of motor vehicles, or other gear mechanisms for which low friction greases are desired.
- a transmission joint or mechanical coupling is a mechanical system composed of several moving parts relative to each other, or deformable, which allows the mutual training of two rotating parts whose axes of rotation occupy variable relative positions during the operation.
- it is a link which makes it possible to transmit the rotation of an axis to another axis which is the first one. If the speed of rotation of the two shafts is equal at any given moment, the speed of rotation of the two shafts is constant.
- the greases used in the constant velocity joints must have an anti-wear effect, and preferably a low coefficient of friction to reduce or prevent noise, vibration and jolts.
- known constant velocity joint greases frequently contain anti-wear additives, which are for example phosphorus or phosphorus compounds, and frictio n modifiers, for example molybdenum-containing organic compounds, which may have effects on one or both of these properties, or both. It is also known to use, as friction modifiers, solid lubricants such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) or tungsten (WS2), or graphite.
- anti-wear additives which are for example phosphorus or phosphorus compounds
- frictio n modifiers for example molybdenum-containing organic compounds, which may have effects on one or both of these properties, or both.
- Frictio n modifiers for example molybdenum-containing organic compounds
- the application FR 2 723 747 discloses high temperature greases for homokinetic joints comprising mineral and / or synthetic base oils, polyurea thickeners and MoS 2 as solid lubricant, as well as graphite and at least one organic molybdenum compound, preferentially molybdenum dithiocarbamate.
- Graphite solid lubricants, MoDTC, PTFE allow to lower the MoS 2 expensive solid lubricant content, but it is necessary to completely replace it.
- MoS 2 solid lubricants have a high price and introduce a high content of meta l in the formulas, which is undesirable for environmental reasons. None in this application suggests lowering the metal (Mo) content of the fat by completely substituting other MoS 2 solid lubricants.
- the molybdenum content of the disclosed compounds is in the order of 5000 ppm.
- Fats thickened with polyureas are more technically complicated to manufacture, in particular because the components used in their manufacture, such as isocyanates and amines, are very toxic and have little storage stability. The precautions to be taken make the manufacturing processes more complex and more expensive. The availability of raw materials is also lower compared to those of greases thickened with metallic soaps, in particular Lithium and Lithium complex.
- the polyureas are superior in thermal behavior, but their thixiotropic character also poses problems of destructuring under mechanical control and storage hardening. It will therefore be preferred, for formulating greases for homokinetic joint technically easier, and more economical to manufacture, from non-toxic and non-hazardous materials, use metal soaps of fatty acids as thickeners.
- Some commercial greases for constant velocity joints are, for example, formulated from mineral and / or synthetic base oils, lithium or complex lithium thickeners, and MoS 2 molybdenum disulfide, at about 3% by weight, which represents a content of approximately 18,000 ppm Mo. Below this MoS 2 content, the wear and friction performances are insufficient.
- EP 0708 172 discloses a low-friction grease for homokinetic joints comprising a base oil, a simple or complex lithium soap thickener, one or more organic components containing molybdenum, such as MoDTC or MoDTP, at least one dithiophosphate. zinc, a phosphor sulfur extreme pressure agent, a metal salt of oxidized wax, petroleum sulphonate or aromatic alkyl sulphonates.
- molybdenum such as MoDTC or MoDTP
- zinc a phosphor sulfur extreme pressure agent
- a metal salt of oxidized wax petroleum sulphonate or aromatic alkyl sulphonates.
- Examples of compositions disclosed have either a high molybdenum content (about 8500 ppm) and / or a high phosphorus content (about 2000 ppm phosphorus), which poses environmental problems.
- WO 2007/085643 discloses polyurethane-thickened homokinetic joint grease compositions comprising from 0.1 to 5% by weight of WS2, and from 0.1 to 5% by weight of zinc dithiophosphate and / or dithiocarbamate. molybdenum. This application also discloses the possibility of using as an additive in greases graphite or MoS 2 . However, the use of graphite (or MoS 2 ) in combination with MoDTC is disadvised because this combination has, according to this application, an adverse effect on the anti-wear properties and the coefficient of friction of the greases.
- the demand is reflected in the fact that the thickened homokinetic properties are added to the metal fatty acid soaps and include graphite in combination with molybdenum dithiocarbamate meet the need outlined above.

- These polymers are used to improve the cohesiveness of the greases, which are thus more resistant to centrifugation. These polymers also result in better adhesiveness of the grease to the surface, and increase the viscosity of the base oil fraction, and thus the thickness of the oil film between the friction parts.

- the saponification reaction of the fatty acids is allowed to proceed with the metal compound (s) at a temperature of about 100 to 110 ° C.
- the water formed is then evaporated by cooking the mixture at a temperature of about 200 ° C.
- the grease is then cooled by the remaining fraction of base oil.
- the additives are then incorporated at about 80 ° C.
- the consistency of a grease measures its hardness or fluidity at rest. It is quantified by the depth of penetration of a cone of given dimensions and mass.
- the fat is previously subjected to mixing.
- the conditions for measuring the consistency of a grease are defined by ASTM D 217. Depending on their consistency, the fats are divided into 9 classes or 9 NLGI grades (National Lubricating Grease Institute) commonly used in the field of fats. These grades are shown in the table below.
- the greases according to the invention are preferably greases with a consistency of between 265 and 430, preferably between 265 and 385, preferably between 265 and 340 tenths of a millimeter according to ASTM D217.
- they are NLGI grade 00, 0, 1 or 2, that is to say that their consistency is respectively between 400 and 430, or 335 and 385, or 310 and 340, or 265 and 295 tenths of a millimeter according to ASTM D217.
- Grease compositions containing various additives are prepared from the same grease base comprising mineral and synthetic base oils, thickened with a single lithium soap prepared from lithium hydroxide (LiOH). H2O), and 12-hydroxystearic acid.
- the composition of the fat foot is shown in Table 1 below.
- the term "grease foot” commonly refers to a person skilled in the art as a grease composition containing only base oils and thickeners, and no additive.
- PIB polymer
- DTPZn anti-wear
- MoS 2 graphite
- the MoDTC used is di-n-butyldithiocarbamate molybdenum, containing 28% by mass of molybdenum
- the MoS2 used is a micrometric powder consisting of particles of size between 0.5 and 8 ⁇ , of D50 about 2 ⁇ .
- Grease A is a commercial grease for constant velocity joints
- greases E, I and J are according to the invention.
- the wear properties were evaluated by measuring the wear diameter (in mm) after the 4-ball wear test according to ASTM D2266 (1 hour, load 40 kg, 75 ° C). According to STL Specification S71 3100, CV greases must lead to a wear diameter of less than 50 mm.
- volume of fat lg distributed in thin film and continuous before test
- Fats E and I have the additional advantage of having low friction coefficients, the order of magnitude of those of commercial grease A.
