Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of metalworking fluid technology, and in particular to a self-healing and thickening process for metalworking fluid oil film. Background Technology

[0002] Metalworking fluids are working media that play a role in lubrication, cooling, rust prevention, and cleaning in machining. Their core is to form an oil film at the interface between the tool and the workpiece that bears the lubrication pressure. As high-end manufacturing develops towards high precision and high efficiency, traditional oil films are prone to rupture and failure under extreme working conditions. Intelligent lubricating materials with self-repairing and thickening capabilities have become a research hotspot. These materials can dynamically respond at the friction interface and automatically repair oil film defects and increase their thickness through physicochemical action. They are urgently needed in aerospace, precision instrument and other systems.

[0003] Existing technologies mainly achieve self-healing functions by encapsulating lubricants in microcapsules or adding nanoparticles. Microcapsules rupture and release the repair agent during friction, but there is a problem that it is difficult to balance mechanical strength and dispersion stability. Nanoparticles are prone to agglomeration and sedimentation, affecting the stability of the system. In addition, existing technologies usually rely on active elements such as sulfur and phosphorus, which can improve extreme pressure performance, but may cause metal corrosion and environmental pollution. Furthermore, they lack dynamic response capabilities to complex working conditions, which restricts their application in high-end processing.

[0004] Therefore, based on the relevant technologies mentioned above, there is an urgent need to develop a self-healing and thickening process for metalworking fluid oil films. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a self-healing and thickening process for metalworking fluid oil films, solving the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A self-healing and thickening process for oil film in metalworking fluids includes the following steps: Step S1: Add the modified organic acid and modified molybdenum dithiocarbamate to base oil a, heat to 55-65℃, rotate at 300-500 rpm, stir for 30-60 minutes, and after stirring is completed, obtain the oil film reaction precursor concentrate. Step S2: Add the composite modified silica and silane coupling agent to deionized water, stir at 100-200 rpm for 8-10 min, add the oil film reaction precursor concentrate, stir at 10000-15000 rpm for 10-30 min, and after stirring is complete, an emulsion is obtained. Step S3: Add triisopropanolamine borate and modified corrosion inhibitor to base oil b, heat to 50-60℃, rotate at 100-200 rpm, stir for 8-10 minutes, and after stirring is complete, obtain the oil phase; Step S4: Add the emulsion to the oil phase, stir at 400-1000 rpm for 20-40 minutes, add the defoamer, stir at 200-400 rpm for 10-20 minutes, and after stirring is complete, the self-repairing and thickening metalworking fluid is obtained. Modified organic acids and modified molybdenum dithiocarbamate react rapidly at the friction interface to form a film, enabling immediate repair of damaged areas. Composite modified silica, by constructing a stable interface structure, ensures emulsion stability and continuously releases active components during friction, achieving a reserve repair function. Triisopropanolamine borate preemptively adsorbs onto the metal surface to establish an initial extreme pressure protective layer, while modified corrosion inhibitors dynamically capture corrosion factors to form an adaptive anti-rust network. Through the synergistic effect of multiple components, the oil film possesses self-healing and thickening capabilities, significantly extending tool life while improving machining accuracy.

[0007] Preferably, the base oil a and base oil b mentioned in steps S1 and S3 are one or more mixtures of polyalphaolefin synthetic oil, ester oil, and vegetable oil; The silane coupling agent mentioned in step S2 is a mixture of γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, and the mass ratio of γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane to 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane is 1:1.

[0008] Preferably, the preparation steps of the modified organic acid in step S1 are as follows: Step A1: Under a nitrogen atmosphere, add oleic acid to maleic anhydride, heat to 85-95℃, rotate at 200-300 rpm, and stir for 3-4 hours. Once stirring is complete, oleic acid modified maleic anhydride is obtained. Step A2: Maintaining a nitrogen atmosphere, add oleic acid-modified maleic anhydride to hydroxyethyl methacrylate, add triethylamine as a catalyst, heat to 65-75℃, rotate at 250-350 rpm, stir for 4-5 hours until the reaction is complete, distill under reduced pressure, wash under vacuum to obtain modified organic acid; By leveraging the synergistic effect of oleic acid, maleic anhydride, and hydroxyethyl methacrylate, a modified organic acid is obtained that combines lubricity, interfacial reactivity, and in-situ polymerization capability. During friction, it can rapidly form a lubricating film and enhance the film strength through polymerization, achieving the dual effects of immediate repair and continuous enhancement.

[0009] Preferably, the mass ratio of oleic acid to maleic anhydride in step A1 is 1:1-1.2; In step A2, the mass ratio of oleic acid-modified maleic anhydride, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, and the catalyst triethylamine is 1:1.2-1.4:0.05-0.1.

[0010] Preferably, the preparation method of the modified molybdenum dithiocarbamate in step S1 is as follows: Step B1: Add molybdenum dialkyl dithiocarbamate and pentaerythritol ester to deionized water, heat to 25-30℃, add alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether, stir at 10000-12000 rpm for 4-6 minutes, and after stirring is complete, a mixture is obtained. Step B2: Add toluene diisocyanate to the mixture, stir at 400-500 rpm for 30-40 min, heat to 40-50℃, add 10% wt ethylenediamine aqueous solution, stir at 100-200 rpm for 3-4 h until the reaction is complete, cool to 25-30℃, centrifuge and filter, vacuum dry to obtain modified molybdenum dithiocarbamate; This step achieves adaptive release of lubricating repair factors through microencapsulation technology. By utilizing the synergistic effect of molybdenum dialkyl dithiocarbamate, pentaerythritol ester, and toluene diisocyanate, a dense polyurea shell is formed, ensuring storage stability and triggering the release of the repair agent through mechanical force during friction, thus achieving an intelligent lubrication effect that repairs on demand.

[0011] Preferably, the mass ratio of molybdenum dialkyl dithiocarbamate, pentaerythritol ester, and alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether in step B1 is 1:1-1.2:0.1-0.2; The mass ratio of toluene diisocyanate, the mixture, and the ethylenediamine aqueous solution in step B2 is 1:8-10:40-60.

[0012] Preferably, the preparation method of the composite modified silica in step S2 is as follows: Step C1: Add hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide and 10 mL of anhydrous ethanol to 300 mL of deionized water, heat to 30-40℃, stir at 300-400 rpm for 8-10 min, add tetraethyl orthosilicate, add 25% wt ammonia water, adjust the pH to 9.5-10.5, react for 5-7 h, after the reaction is complete, transfer to a muffle furnace, heat to 500-600℃, calcine for 5-7 h, after calcine is complete, cool to 20-30℃ to obtain a porous silica support; Step C2: Add the porous silica support and molybdenum dialkyldithiocarbamate to toluene solvent, heat to 50-60℃, reduce pressure to -0.09 to -0.095 MPa, impregnate for 4-5 hours, increase pressure to 0.1 MPa, rotate at 300-350 rpm, stir for 2-3 hours, after stirring is complete, filter, dry, and obtain porous silica with metal source supported; Step C3: Add porous silica with a metal source to anhydrous ethanol, add KH-550, heat to 80-90℃, stir at 500-600 rpm for 4-5 hours until the reaction is complete, centrifuge, wash, and vacuum dry to obtain composite modified silica. This step involves constructing a three-dimensional Si-O-Si network structure on the silica surface using a template method. Its large specific surface area and interconnected channels provide space for adhesion. Subsequently, vacuum impregnation is used to form BO-Si coordination bonds between molybdenum dialkyldithiocarbamate and the inner surface of the channels, achieving stable storage and controlled release of active components. Finally, a Si-O-Me covalent interface is constructed on the particle surface using a silane coupling agent, simultaneously forming BN coordination interactions. This multi-level bonding system enhances particle dispersion stability through chemical anchoring and achieves intelligent release of repair factors through coordination bond reconstruction.

[0013] Preferably, the mass ratio of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide to tetraethyl orthosilicate in step C1 is 1:4-5; The mass ratio of the porous silica support to molybdenum dialkyldithiocarbamate in step C2 is 1:0.2-0.3; In step C3, the mass ratio of porous silica with a loaded metal source to KH-550 is 1:0.1-0.2.

[0014] Preferably, the preparation steps of the modified corrosion inhibitor in step S3 are as follows: Under a nitrogen atmosphere, diethylenetriamine was added to oleic acid, heated to 130-140℃, stirred at 200-300 rpm for 2-3 hours until the reaction was complete. The mixture was then dehydrated, transferred to a water separator, heated to 240-250℃, stirred at 300-400 rpm for 3-4 hours until the reaction was complete. The mixture was then cooled to 70-80℃ and vacuum distilled for 1-2 hours to obtain the modified corrosion inhibitor. This step endows the product with excellent hydrophobicity and oil solubility through the long carbon chain of oleic acid. The imidazoline structure constructed by the cyclization reaction of diethylenetriamine has unique pH response characteristics, which allows it to be stably adsorbed on the metal surface under normal conditions. When local corrosion occurs and the pH decreases, the molecular structure undergoes a protonation transformation, and the adsorption capacity is significantly enhanced. It can quickly accumulate at the corrosion active sites to form a dense protective layer, and the rust prevention effect has achieved a leap from passive protection to active repair.

[0015] Preferably, the mass ratio of oleic acid to diethylenetriamine is 1:0.39-0.45.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention provides a self-healing and thickening process for metalworking fluid oil films. By constructing a multi-component synergistic system comprising modified organic acid, modified molybdenum dithiocarbamate, composite modified silica, and modified corrosion inhibitor, and employing a stepwise preparation process, a composite machining fluid with immediate lubrication, reserve repair, and intelligent response is formed. Compared with existing technologies, it achieves rapid self-repair and continuous thickening of oil film damage, significantly improving machining accuracy and tool life. It also possesses advantages such as environmental friendliness and long-term stability, and has broad application prospects in high-end equipment manufacturing, precision instrument processing, and other fields.

Referring to the test standard GB / T 3142-2019 "Determination of Lubricant Carrying Capacity (Four-Ball Method)", clean and install four GCr15 bearing steel balls with a diameter of 12.7mm, make the bottom three steel balls tightly fixed in the oil cup, inject 10.0mL of self-healing thickening metalworking fluid, and install the fourth steel ball as the master sample in the spindle chuck; 2. Set the spindle speed to 1450 rpm, start the testing machine, and gradually load the load starting from an initial load of 98 N, according to a geometric progression of 1.12. 3. After running for 10 seconds at each load level, measure the wear scar diameter of any one of the three steel balls below using a reading microscope. Repeat this process until sintering occurs (manifested as a sharp increase of 30% in the wear scar diameter, or accompanied by severe noise and vibration). At this point, the previous load level is the sintering load (PD), and the maximum load with a wear scar diameter not exceeding the corresponding standard correction value is the maximum non-jamming load (PB).

Referring to the test standard GB / T 3142-2019 "Determination of Lubricant Carrying Capacity (Four-Ball Method)", clean and install four GCr15 bearing steel balls with a diameter of 12.7mm, make the bottom three steel balls tightly fixed in the oil cup, inject 10.0mL of self-healing thickening metalworking fluid, and install the fourth steel ball as the master sample in the spindle chuck; 2. Align the spindle system and tighten the oil cup, and test at 392N load and 1200rpm for 30 minutes; 3. After the test, the wear scar diameter of each steel ball was measured using a reading microscope (measured twice in mutually perpendicular directions and the average value was taken).

The titration endpoint is indicated by the solution color changing from yellow through blue-green to reddish-brown. At the same time, perform a blank test using 10 mL of deionized water instead of the water sample. The volume of ferrous ammonium sulfate consumed in the water sample and blank test is used as a guideline. 3.

[0045] Sintering load test: 1. Referring to the test standard GB / T 3142-2019 "Determination of Lubricant Carrying Capacity (Four-Ball Method)", clean and install four GCr15 bearing steel balls with a diameter of 12.7mm. Tightly fix three of the steel balls in the oil cup, inject 200mL of the metalworking fluid to be tested, and install the fourth steel ball in the spindle chuck. 2. Set the spindle speed to 1450 rpm, and start loading from an initial load of 98 N in geometric increments of 1.12. Run for 10 seconds at each load level. Clean the steel balls and measure the wear scar diameter after each test. 3. When the wear scar diameter suddenly increases by more than 30%, or is accompanied by severe vibration and noise, it is determined to be sintering.

[0047] Cooling and chip removal performance test: 1. Referring to the test standard GB / T 9061-2006 "Test Method for Cooling Performance of Metal Cutting Fluids", the self-healing thickening metalworking fluid was diluted to 8% concentration, the supply pressure was set to 4MPa, a 304 stainless steel test block with dimensions of 100×100×30mm and a new carbide drill bit with a diameter of 10mm were used, and the cutting parameters of spindle speed of 800rpm and feed rate of 0.1mm / r were fixed, and the drilling depth was 30mm. 2. Install a K-type thermocouple 20mm from the drill tip on the drill shank, set the data acquisition frequency to 1Hz, record the temperature change curves of 10 consecutive holes drilled, with a cooling time of 60s between each hole. Collect chip samples from each hole, weigh them using an electronic balance and take photos.

Use a high-speed camera to observe the continuity of chip flow at the coolant outlet, record the number of chip blockages and the duration of each blockage. After machining, use a TR200 surface roughness tester to measure the hole wall roughness (Ra value) at a hole depth of 15mm. Take the average value of three measurements. Use an inside micrometer with a graduation of 0.001mm to measure the hole diameter deviation at three positions: hole opening, hole middle, and hole bottom. Evaluate the cooling efficiency and chip removal performance of the machining fluid.

An intermittent test method was adopted, which involved machining 5 holes and then stopping the machine for measurement. After each stop, the width VB of the wear band on the back face was measured using a tool microscope. Three measurement points were evenly selected on the main cutting edge to record the data. 3. The test is terminated when the VB value reaches the 0.3mm wear standard or when chipping occurs. The cumulative number of machined holes is recorded. Three tools are used for each test sample, and the average value is taken. The percentage increase in tool life is calculated using the formula: 4. The formula for calculating the percentage increase in tool life is: Percentage increase in tool life (%) = (Tool life of improved formula - Tool life of baseline formula) / Tool life of baseline formula × 100%, and repeatability verification is performed.

[0051] Data Analysis: As can be seen from Tables 1-4, the self-healing thickened metalworking fluid prepared by this invention has better extreme pressure anti-wear performance, lower coefficient of friction, better cooling and chip removal characteristics, and longer tool life. Example 16 shows that by adding oil-soluble nanodiamond and polyisobutylene succinimide, significant improvements were achieved in all aspects of performance. This is because the nanodiamond forms a high-strength protective layer on the friction surface, which greatly improves the extreme pressure anti-wear performance. At the same time, its excellent thermal conductivity significantly enhances the cooling efficiency, while the polymeric dispersant ensures the stable dispersion of nanoparticles and avoids agglomeration and sedimentation. Example 17 further adds benzotriazole to Example 16, which provides comprehensive corrosion protection while maintaining excellent lubrication performance. It is particularly suitable for complex processing environments with multiple metal combinations because benzotriazole and the modified corrosion inhibitor form a complementary anti-rust network, providing special protection for non-ferrous metals without affecting the main lubrication and repair function. In contrast, Comparative Example 1, which did not use oleic acid-modified maleic anhydride, resulted in a significant decrease in the strength and repair capability of the lubricating film. This was because it lacked polymerizable double bonds, making it impossible to undergo in-situ polymerization and enhancement reactions at the friction interface. The lubricating film formed solely by physical adsorption was insufficient in strength and could not be synergistically constructed with the metal source to create a composite lubricating layer with gradient repair function. Furthermore, it could not effectively control the chip morphology through polymerization reactions during the cutting process, leading to a deterioration in chip removal performance. Comparative Example 2 showed that replacing the modified corrosion inhibitor with alkenyl succinic acid resulted in a significant increase in environmental load and loss of rust prevention intelligence. This was because traditional alkenyl succinic acid has poor biodegradability, poor environmental compatibility, and lacks pH response characteristics. It cannot achieve targeted repair in corrosion micro-areas and can only provide uniform passive protection, resulting in limited rust prevention effect under local high temperature and high pressure conditions. Comparative Example 3 shows that replacing polyether-modified polydimethylsiloxane with polydimethylsiloxane leads to a decrease in system compatibility and stability. This is because ordinary silicone oil has poor compatibility with the composite emulsion system, which can easily cause local demulsification or component separation, insufficient defoaming persistence, and may damage the stability of Pickering emulsion under high-speed shear, affecting the controllable release of active components. Comparative Example 4 suffered from insufficient precursor reaction and failure of repair function due to the lack of heating treatment in step S1. This was because organic acid and metal source could not achieve molecular-level dispersion and pre-reaction under low temperature conditions, and the active components existed in an aggregated state, which reduced the response sensitivity and repair efficiency of friction triggering. At the same time, a uniform reaction liquid bladder structure was not formed, which resulted in the inability to quickly release the repair material under extreme pressure conditions, and the speed of lubricating film reconstruction lagged behind the wear rate.
