Definitions
- This invention relates to lubricant compositions having utility in numerous applications, particularly in connection with gear, transmission and/or axle applications in the automotive and machinery industries.
- Lubricant compositions and in particular gear and axle lubricant fluids, is to provide a high degree of reliability and durability in the service life of equipment in which it is installed.
- Lubricating oils in general, and gear and axle lubricants in particular frequently must satisfy a relatively large number of performance criteria to be commercially successful.
- a commercially successful axle lubricant will frequently be required to possess a high degree of oxidative stability, compatibility, shear stability, corrosion avoidance or resistance, wear protection, shiftability, and extended drain. These properties represent a difficult to achieve set of performance criteria.
- Gear lubricant compositions are classified by the American Petroleum Institute
- API using "GL” ratings. These classifications are subdivided into six classes. The lowest rating, API GL-1 , classifies oils used for light conditions, which consist of base oils without additives. The highest rating, API GL-6, classifies oils for very heavy conditions, such as high speeds of sliding and significant shock loading, and which contain up to 10% high performance antiscuffing additives. However, class API GL-6 is not applied any more as it is considered that class API GL-5 will meet most severe requirements. Lubricant compositions classified meeting API GL-5 performance requirements are generally applied, for example, in hypoid gears having significant displacement of axles.
- the viscosity-temperature relationship of a lubricating composition is another of the critical criteria to be considered when selecting a lubricant for a particular application.
- Mineral oils commonly used as a base for single and multigraded lubricants exhibit a relatively large change in viscosity with a change in temperature. Fluids exhibiting such a relatively large change in viscosity with temperature have a low viscosity index.
- the SAE J306 describes viscometric qualifications for axle and gear lubricant compositions. This classification is based on the lubricant viscosity measured at both high and low temperatures.
- the high-temperature kinematic viscosity values are determined according to ASTM D 445, with the results reported in centistokes (cSt).
- the low-temperature viscosity values are determined according to ASTM D 2983 and the results are reported in centipoise (cP).
- Table 1 summarizes high and low temperature requirements for qualifications of axle and gear lubricant compositions.
- SAE Society of Automotive Engineers
- High temperature viscosity is related to the hydrodynamic lubrication characteristics of the fluid.
- Some lubricant compositions may contain high molecular weight polymers, known as viscosity modifiers or viscosity index improvers, which function to increase the viscosity of the fluids. During use, however, these polymers may shear to a lower molecular weight, thereby resulting in a fluid with a lower viscosity than that of the new fluid.
- Low temperature viscosity requirements are related to the ability of the fluid to flow and provide adequate lubrication to critical parts under low ambient temperature conditions.
- lubricant composition is used in its broadest sense to include fluid compositions that are used in applications involving metal to metal contact of parts in which at least one function of the fluid is to inhibit or reduce friction between the parts.
- lubricant composition includes gear oils, axle oils, and the like.
- the lubricant compositions of the present invention comprise: (a) base-stock; (b) viscosity improver; and (c) at least one additive.
- Certain lubricant compositions of the present invention comprise: (a) base-stock comprising (i) a low viscosity polyalphaolefm ("PAO"), and (ii) at least one diester; (b) viscosity improver comprising (i) at least one relatively high viscosity PAO-type viscosity improver, and (ii) polyisobutylene; and (c) a performance additive package comprising at least one additive effective to improve at least one property of the lubricant and/or the performance of the equipment in which the lubricant is to be used.
- the lubricant compositions of the present invention are multiviscosity- grade lubricants having a SAE viscosity classification of 75W-140, and meet API GL-5 performance requirements.
- compositions having an SAE viscosity classification of 75W-140 and meeting API GL-5 performance requirements comprise:
- SAE 75W-140 lubricant compositions of the present invention meet API GL-5 performance requirements and provide cost-effective lubricant compositions that exhibit improved performance in ring and pinion gears with respect to one or more, and preferably all, of the following advantageous properties: ridging, rippling, pitting, spalling, scoring, and wear.
- the present invention is directed in one aspect to lubricant compositions comprising: (a) base-stock; (b) viscosity improver; and (c) at least one additive.
- the lubricant composition is a multiviscosity-grade lubricant having a SAE viscosity classification of 75W-140, and meets API GL-5 performance requirements.
- the base-stock of the present invention comprises: (i) a low viscosity polyalphaolefin ("PAO"); and (ii) at least one diester.
- PAO low viscosity polyalphaolefin
- the viscosity improver of the present invention comprises: (i) at least one relatively high viscosity PAO-type viscosity improver; and (ii) polyisobutylene.
- the performance additive package comprises at least one additive effective to improve at least one property of the equipment in which the lubricant is to be used.
- the present invention also provides methods of making and using a fully formulated lubricant, including a fully formulated heavy duty axle fluid, and to axle, gear, transmission or drive systems containing such oils.
- compositions in widely varying amounts depending on the particular needs of each application, and all such variations are considered to be within the broad scope of the invention. Nevertheless, applicants have found that in certain embodiments the present lubricant compositions comprise:
- compositions of the present invention when used in connection with ring and pinion gears, exhibit and/or produce advantageous properties with respect to one or more, and preferably all, of the following: ridging, rippling, pitting, spading, scoring, and wear.
- the PAOs of the present invention comprise a class of hydrocarbons that can be manufactured by the catalytic oligomerization (polymerization to low-molecular-weight procedures) of linear a-olefins typically ranging from 1-octene to 1-dodecene, with 1- decene being a preferred material, although polymers of lower olefins such as ethylene and propylene may also be used, including copolymers of ethylene with higher olefins.
- numerous particular compounds or combinations of compounds are available for use in connection with each of the components as described herein.
- the base-stock of the present invention comprises at least one relatively low viscosity PAO and at least one diester.
- the low viscosity PAO of the present invention in certain embodiments the low viscosity PAO comprises a polyalphaolefin having a viscosity of not greater than about 12 cSt.

- the objective of this procedure is to evaluate the anti-scoring properties of gear lubricants under high-speed and shock conditions.
- the performance of procedure lubricants is compared to that of reference oils.
- a specially selected rear axle-mounting assembly and two large dynamometers serve as the procedure apparatus.
- a break-in is conducted at moderate speed and load at a lubricant temperature of 225°F (107.2 °C). This is followed by a series of moderate accelerations and decelerations with temperatures approaching 280°F (137.8 °C). The final series of runs consists of highspeed accelerations with rapid decelerations.
- This test may be performed under two different sets of operating conditions, commonly referred to as "Standard” and “Canadian.”
- the ring and pinion gears are evaluated on a pass/fail basis.
- the pass/fail criteria require that there be less quantity of scoring on the ring and pinion gears than on the associated pass reference oil procedure.
- “Scoring,” with respect to ring and pinion gears, as defined by ASTM D 7450, is the rapid removal of metal from the tooth surfaces caused by the tearing out of small contacting particles that have welded together as a result of metal-to-metal contact; a scored surface is characterized by a matte or dull finish.
- the results of the L-42 Standard and Canadian tests performed are reported in the following Tables 3 and 4, respectively.
- the lubricant composition in accordance with the present invention passed both the L-42 Standard and Canadian tests by exhibiting an equal to or better (lower) score than the mean scoring values of the passing reference oil test results used to calibrate the standard.

- the procedure axle is operated for 100 minutes at 440 axle rpm, 295°F (146.1 °C) lubricant temperature, and 9460 Ib-in (109 m kg) of torque.
- the axle is then operated for 24 hours at 80 axle rpm, 275°F (135.0 °C) lubricant temperature, and 41 ,800 Ib-in (482 m kg) of torque.
- the ring and pinion gears are evaluated for an ASTM merit rating based on the ridging, rippling, wear, pitting/spalling, and scoring.
- Ring and pinion gears are the alteration of the tooth surface to give a series of parallel raised and polished ridges running diagonally in the direction of sliding motion, either partially or completely across the tooth surfaces or gears.
- “Wear,” with respect to ring and pinion gears, as defined by ASTM D 7450, is the removal of metal, without evidence of surface fatigue or adhesive wear, resulting in partial or complete elimination of tool or grinding marks or development of a discernible shoulder ridge at the bottom of the contact area near the root or at the toe or heel end of pinion tooth contact area (abrasive wear).
- “Pitting,” with respect to ring and pinion gears, as defined by ASTM D 7450 refers to small irregular cavities in the tooth surface, resulting from the breaking out of small areas of surface metal.
- “Spalling,” with respect to ring and pinion gears, as defined by ASTM D 7450 is the breaking out of flakes of irregular area of the tooth surface, a condition more extensive than pitting.
- “Scoring,” with respect to ring and pinion gears, as defined by ASTM D 7450, is the rapid removal of metal from the tooth surfaces caused by the tearing out of small contacting particles that have welded together as a result of metal-to-metal contact; a scored surface is characterized by a matte or dull finish.

- the differential housing assembly is operated for 4 hours at 2,500 input rpm at 180°F (82.2 °C) lubricant temperature with 1 fl. oz. of distilled water mixed in the lubricant.
- the procedure unit is then placed in the storage box and stored for 162 hours at 125°F (51 .7 °C).
- the procedure parts of the assembly are rated for the presence of rust. All internal moving parts (ring, pinion, bearings, differential gears, etc.) are evaluated for a final rust merit rating.
- API Category GL-5 candidate fluids are required to have a Final Rust Corrosion Merit Rating of 9.0 or greater.
- Example Lubricant Composition 1 passed the ASTM D 7038 test by exhibiting a 9.3 Final Rust Corrosion Merit Rating.
- This method is used for determining the deterioration of lubricants under severe thermal and oxidative conditions.
- a gear case assembly, two spur gears, two copper strips, a bearing, a temperature control system, an alternator, a motor, and a regulated air supply serve as major parts of the procedure fixture.
- the spur gears are rotated under load at 1750-rpm input for 50 hours.
- the lubricant temperature is maintained at 325°F (162.8 °C). Airflow through the lubricant is controlled at 22.1 mg/min for the procedure's duration.
