Benefits of technology

[0012]In a preferred embodiment, this invention provides a lubricant having a multifunctional lubricant additive composition included therein for improving the performance characteristics of the lubricant for use in transmission fluid products that meet both civil and military specifications.
[0013]In another embodiment, the present invention provides a lubricant having a multifunctional lubricant additive composition included therein for use in improving the performance of metals and alloys of power transmission components, including gears, bearings, spines, shafts and springs.
[0014]In another embodiment, this invention provides a lubricant having a multifunctional lubricant additive composition included therein for improving the performance characteristics of engines and related propulsive devices used to power automobiles, both stock (production) and specialty (e.g. racing and other high performance) varieties, and heavy on- and off-road equipment, such as farm implements and construction equipment.
[0015]In another embodiment, the present invention provides a lubricant having a multifunctional lubricant additive composition included therein that beneficially reduces friction and scuffing (scoring), and increases resistance to surface degradation, including but not limited to fatigue, including micro- and macro-pitting, and wear.
[0016]In yet another embodiment, the present invention provides a lubricant having a multifunctional lubricant additive composition included therein for improving the performance characteristics of an applied mechanical system. Embodiments of this lubricant comprise the following components:

Problems solved by technology

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.
By reducing friction, wear, and pressure, and improving scoring (scuffing) resistance, these additives prolong surface fatigue life for lubricated contacts within transmission systems and propulsive devices.

Embodiment Construction

[0041]The present invention provides a multifunctional lubricant composition. One preferred non-limiting embodiment of this multifunctional lubricant composition includes the following: (1) a base stock lubricant (a) in a concentration of about 90% or more by mole, preferably more than about 94% by mole; (2) about 4% or less by mole, preferably about 0.1% to 3% by mole, of friction modifying additive(s) (b); (3) about 4% or less by mole, preferably about 0.1% to 3% by mole, of antiwear additive(s) (c); (4) about 6% or less by mole, preferably about 0.1% to 3% by mole, of extreme pressure additive(s) (d); and about 4% or less by mole, preferably about 0.01% to 1% by mole, of a surface fatigue life modifier(s), all based on the total amount of lubricant. The total amount of additives (b)-(e) should not exceed about 10% by mole, based on the total amount of the lubricant. The present invention contemplates the use of one or more of the additives (b)-(e) with the base stock lubricant (a...

Abstract

The present invention provides a composition for improving load carrying capacity, extreme pressure performance, surface fatigue life, and other performance characteristics of a lubricant. The composition includes a base stock and a combination of two, three, or all of a friction modifier, and antiwear additive, an extreme pressure additive, and a surface fatigue life modifier. The present invention further provides a method for improving the performance characteristics of a lubricant. The method includes a step of mixing a lubricant with the above-described multifunctional lubricant additive composition or mixing a lubricant base stock with the above-described multifunctional lubricant additive composition.
