[0080] is a gear oil composition formed by adding 0.5% of the artificial synthetic magnesium hydroxyl siliconate to the Fuchs all synthetic gear oil CLP150, and stirring at 60°C for 2h.
[0081] Comparative Application Example 4

[0085] The anti-micropitting repair performance of the gear oil compositions of each application example and the comparative application example was investigated. The anti-micropitting repair performance test: the micropitting test was carried out using the MPR tester produced by the British PCS company. The test conditions were temperature 60°C, test main load 150N, entrainment speed 2m / s, and slide-roll ratio 5%. The roller and the ring were made of carburized 16MnCr5, the roller hardness was 680±20HV, the roughness Ra was 0.2±0.02μm, the ring hardness was 780±20HV, and the roughness Ra was 0.4±0.02μm. The experiment was an online repair under the sliding-rolling condition. The friction coefficient change graph during the test was drawn, and after the test was completed, the micropitting area was calculated by observing the roller surface micropitting state before and after repair using a metallographic microscope and using software. The results are shown in Table 1. Figure 1 and Table 1.
[0086] Table 1 Micropitting area repair rate of different gear oil compositions
[0087]
[0088]
[0089] According to Figure 1 and Table 1, the following conclusions can be drawn:
[0090] The micropitting repair effect of application examples 1-3, under the action of the ionic liquid modified layered silicate mineral composite additive, the micropitting area of the roller surface was significantly reduced, and the friction coefficient showed a regular downward trend, which verified the synergistic lubrication mechanism of ionic liquid and layered silicate material (magnesium hydroxyl silicate, talc, and kaolin), and application example 4 also had the same effect, but different structures of ionic liquid showed differences in micropitting repair efficiency.
[0091] Compared with application example 1, the solid particles in comparative application example 4 were not modified by ionic liquid, and due to poor dispersibility, they were deposited at the bottom during the test, and the overall repair effect was discounted. This also reflects the dispersing effect of ionic liquid on solid particles and the synergistic repair of micropitting. Note: Comparative example 4 is magnesium hydroxyl silicate without ionic liquid modification, and example 2 is talc modified by ionic liquid. Talc has a lower Mohs hardness and better lubrication effect, but its repair effect is inferior to that of magnesium hydroxyl silicate. Therefore, although the dispersibility of magnesium hydroxyl silicate is poor, it still brings good repair effect under the content of 0.5% through friction stirring, so the repair rate of comparative application example 4 is slightly higher than that of application example 2.
[0092] When the layered silicate is replaced by graphite (Comparative Application Example 1) or molybdenum disulfide (Comparative Application Example 2), the friction coefficient remains stable, and there is no statistically significant difference in the micro-pitting repair area. This shows that such layered solid lubricants can achieve friction reduction and wear resistance by interlayer shear of the sliding surface, but cannot inhibit the formation and expansion of micro-pitting due to the lack of high-strength silicon oxide and silicon carbide composite film, resulting in limited surface repair effect.
[0093] In the gear oil system without the addition of micro-pitting repair additives (Comparative Application Example 3), the friction coefficient shows a linear upward trend with the extension of the sliding-rolling contact time, and the micro-pitting crack expansion rate is more than 45%. This result confirms the self-catalytic expansion characteristics of micro-pitting without repair intervention, and further highlights the technical advantages of the additive of the present application in inhibiting the accumulation of fatigue damage.
[0094] The addition of a single ionic liquid in Comparative Application Example 5 can improve the extreme pressure lubricity of the gear oil, but has no obvious effect on the repair performance, and the results are similar to those of Comparative Application Example 3.
[0095] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be noted that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, a number of improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present application.
