5 Claims. (Cl. 25278) This invention pertains to improved coolants and lubricants for use in power or force transmission mechanisms. More particularly this invention relates to mineral lubricating oil compositions for use in an apparatus by means of which mechanical forces are transmitted or absorbed such as in automotive transmissions, hydraulic brakes, clutches, and various other mechanical equipment.
In simple power transmitting mechanisms such as torque converters, among the variousfunctions of the fluid employed therein is that of a heat transfer medium. However, in the more complicated automotive transmissions, fluid brake mechanisms and the like which also contain wet clutches, planetary gears and hydraulic con trol mechanisms, additional problems involving adequate cooling and lubrication are involved. Rigorous requirements have been set up to qualify fluids for this service. These include wide temperature stability at both high and low temperatures and a pour point of -30 F. maximum to insure proper pumpability and fluidity at low temperatures. The fluid must not have a detrimental efiect on parts with which it comes in contact such as metal surfaces e.g., copper and solid organic surfaces such as organic resins and the like. excellent anti-frictional and extreme pressure characteristics to afford proper lubrication of gears, clutch plates and other parts of automotive equipment. Also, the fluid must not cause chattering, squawking, squealing or produce other noises caused by the stick-slip phenomenon of clutch plates or other parts of these mechanisms.
Now, in accordance with the present invention, a lubricating and cooling power transmission fluid is provided, which satisfactorily meets the above requirements, and which consists essentially of a major amount of a mineral lubricating oil containing a minor amount sufficient to prevent chattering or squawking and stabilize the fluid composition, of an oil-soluble monoor di-alkane phosphinic acid containing from 4 to 20, and preferably from 12 to 18, carbon atoms in the alkyl radical which can be straight or branched-chain.
Suitable alkane phosphinic acids include oil-soluble straight and branched-chain alkane phosphinic acids and include n-octane phosphinic acid, di-2-ethylhexyl phosphinic acid, dodecane phosphinic acid, pentadecane phosphinic acid, hexadecane phosphinic acid, octadecane phosphinic acid, dinonane phosphinic acid, didecane phosphinic acid, didodecane phosphinic acid, ditetradecane phosphinic acid, dioctadecane phosphinic acid, methylhexadecane phosphinic acid, and butyltetradecane phosphinic acid, and mixtures thereof.
The alkane phosphinic acids can be prepared by a number of suitable means such as described in Kosolapofls Organo Phosphorus Compounds (John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 1950); Arbuzov (J. Gen. Chem. (U.S.S.R.), 4, 898900 (1934); Kharasch et al. (I. Am. Chem. Soc. 67, 1864 (1954)); and U.S. Patent 2,724,718.
The following examples will serve to illustrate method of preparing additives of this invention:
The fluid must possess 2,913,415 Patented Nov. 17, 19 59 EXAMPLE I Octane phosphinic acid About equimols of sodium hypophosphite and 1-octene Were added to methanol containing a catalytic amount of 2,2-bis(tert.-butyl peroxy) butane and the mixture reacted in an enclosed pressure-resistant vessel at a temperature of about C. to C. for about two hours under agitation. At the end of the reaction, a single liquid phase was observed which was sodium octane phosphinate dissolved in the methanol; acidification yielded octane phosphinic acid, C8H17PH(0)OH- EXAMPLE II Tetradecane phosphinic acid About equimols of sodium hypophosphite and l-tetradecent were added to methanol containing a catalytic amount of 2,2-bis(tert.-butyl peroxy)butane and the mixture reacted in an enclosed pressure-resistant vessel at around 210 C. At the end of the reaction the product was acidified as above, Water-washed and the organic phase was dried. The crude product can be recrystallized from acetone to yield a major amount of tetradecane phosphinic acid and a minor amount of ditetradecane phosphinic acid and octacosane phosphinic acids having a melting point of 52.052.4 C. This entiregmixture or the tetradecane phosphinic acid can be-recovered by fractional crystallization from n-heptane, and used as anti-chatter agents in hydraulic fluids or in other lubricents of this invention. Y
The oil-soluble alkane phosphinic acids can beused in compositions of this invention in amounts ranging from about 0.001% to about 5% or from 0.001% to 0.5% by weight, and preferably are used between 0.01% and 0.3% by weight.
The base oil is a mineral lubricating oil preferably having a high viscosity index and a low pour point. Such an oil can be illustrated by an SAE 10 mineral oil having the following properties:
Another suitable base oil is a refined, highly paratfinic transformer oil having the following properties:
Gr., APT
30.9 Color 30 Visc., SUS, at 100 F 56.9 Flash, COC, F 290 Fire, COC, F 320 Pour point, F Below 70 The oil can be obtained from various crudes such as Pennsylvania, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and California crudes.
The viscosity index of the oil can be adjusted when required by addition thereto of a small amount of a viscosity index improver such as polyisobutylene or methacrylate ester polymers such as those sold by Rohm and Haas under the name of Acryloids such as Acryloid 710 which is predominantly a copolymer mixture of octyl and lauryl methacrylates having a molecular weight of from about 10,000 to 20,000 or Acryloid which is predominantly a copolymer mixture of cetyl, lauryl and octyl methacrylates having a molecular weight of about 10,000-l5,000. These polymers are sold commercially as 40% concentrate of the polymer in a mineral lubricating oil base, to provide a viscous liquid having a viscosity at 210 F. of from about 600'to 850' centistokes. On an oil-free basis the polymers when used in compositions of this invention vary from 0.001% to 5%.
Other auxiliary additives which can be used in compositions of this invention include phenolic and amine anti-oxidants such as alkyl phenols e.g., diand tri-alkyl phenols, for instance 2,4-, 2,3-, 3,4-, 2,6- and 3,5-diamyl phenol, 2,4-dimethyl-6-tertbutyl phenol, 2,4-ditertbutyl- 6-methyl phenol; arylamines such as phenyl-u-naphthylamine, phenyl-fi-naphthylamine; fatty acids of from 10 to 20 carbon atoms such as lauric, palmitic or stearic acids and mixtures thereof. These auxiliary agents when used in compositions of this invention are employed in amounts of from 0.001% to 10% and preferably between 0.1% and 5%.

Corrosion and stability were determined by the copper strip test (I) which consists of heating the test oil at 300 F. for 3 hours with a polished copper strip immersed in the oil. The appearance of the strip at the end of the test is noted. The anti-wear, friction-reducing and squawking inhibiting properties of this invention were determined by use of a modified 4-ball wear tester equipped with an aerostatic thrust bearing and modified by addition of a fiy-wheel to the spindle carrying the rotating steel ball and using an electronic friction recording system, and in which the three lower balls of the 4-ball machine were replaced by a cup holding three discs punched from Dynafiow reverse drum bearing material, and the anti-chatter coefiicient (II) was measured as the friction ratio wherein K is the kinetic coefiicient of friction and S is the static coeflicient of friction.
