Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a metalworking oil composition. [Background technology]

[0002] In the field of metalworking, metalworking oil compositions have been used to lubricate the machining sites of metal workpieces, and metalworking oil compositions are required to have excellent workability, such as the ability to suppress seizure between the workpiece and the tool.

[0003] Aluminum fins used in heat exchangers of refrigeration systems such as refrigerators and air conditioners are produced by subjecting aluminum fin materials to plastic working such as bulging, drawing, punching, curling, ironing, etc. The processing of aluminum fin materials is usually carried out using a metal working oil composition.

[0004] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a hydrophilic treatment agent for aluminum fins of heat exchangers, which contains a hydrophilic polymer (A) and a crosslinking agent (B), wherein the solid mass ratio of hydrophilic polymer (A) / crosslinking agent (B) is within the range of 97 / 3 to 76 / 24, and the amount of hydrophilic polymer (A) is 91 to 100 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of resin solids remaining after subtracting the crosslinking agent (B) from the resin solids of the hydrophilic treatment agent.

[0011] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an outline of a flat plate sliding test. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] (Metalworking oil composition) The metal working oil composition of this embodiment contains a base oil (A) and a polyoxyalkylene compound (B) having a repeating structure of an oxyethylene group and a repeating structure of an oxypropylene group.

[0013] The metal working oil composition of this embodiment has a kinematic viscosity at 40°C of 5mm 2 / s or less is preferable, and 3 mm 2 / s or less is more preferable, and 2 mm 2 / s or less is even more preferable. In this specification, the kinematic viscosity at 40°C means a value measured in accordance with JIS K2283:2000.

[0014] <Base oil (A)> The base oil (A) has a kinematic viscosity of 5mm at 40°C. 2 / s or less is preferable, and 3 mm 2 / s or less is more preferable, and 2 mm 2 / s or less is even more preferable.

[0015] The base oil (A) is 1 It contains a branched-chain hydrocarbon (A1) (hereinafter also referred to as "component (A1)") in which the ratio of methyl group protons is 20 to 65, when the integral value of all protons detected by H-NMR analysis is set to 100.

[0016] As the component (A1), mineral oil, GTL (Gas to Liquids), CTL (Coal to Liquids), etc. are used. As the mineral oil, a distillate obtained by atmospheric distillation of crude oil can be used. In addition, a lubricating oil fraction obtained by further vacuum distillation of the distillate obtained by the atmospheric distillation and then refining the distillate through various refining processes can also be used. The refining process may be a suitable combination of hydrorefining, solvent extraction, solvent dewaxing, hydrodewaxing, sulfuric acid washing, clay treatment, etc. Mineral oil can be obtained by combining these refining processes in a suitable order. Furthermore, a mixture of a plurality of refined oils with different properties obtained by subjecting different crude oils or distillate oils to a combination of different refining processes may also be used. GTL is a hydrocarbon that is synthesized using natural gas as a raw material using the Fischer-Tropsch process (FT process). CTL is a hydrocarbon synthesized using coal as a raw material by the FT method. A mixture of these may also be used as the component (A1).

[0017] The component (A1) is1 It is a branched hydrocarbon in which the ratio of methyl group protons is 20 to 65, when the integral value of all protons detected by H-NMR analysis is taken as 100. In other words, component (A1) is an isoparaffin with relatively few branches.

[0018] The component (A1) has a proton ratio of the methyl group of 65 or less, preferably 60 or less, more preferably 50 or less, and even more preferably 45 or less. On the other hand, the proton ratio of the methyl group in the component (A1) is preferably 20 or more, and more preferably 25 or more.

[0019] When the proton ratio of the methyl group in component (A1) is less than 20, i.e., when the base oil has fewer branches, it is presumed that the molecules of the base oil are densely stacked, making it difficult for the polyoxyalkylene compound (B), described below, to be adsorbed to the surface of the metal being processed. On the other hand, when the proton ratio of the methyl group in component (A1) is more than 65, i.e., when the base oil has more branches, it is presumed that the gaps between the molecules of the base oil are small, making it difficult for the polyoxyalkylene compound (B), described below, to be adsorbed to the surface of the metal being processed. When the proton ratio of the methyl group in component (A1) is within the above-mentioned preferred range, i.e., when the branching of the base oil is appropriate, it is presumed that the molecules of the base oil become irregular, increasing the gaps between the molecules of the base oil, and making it easier for the polyoxyalkylene compound (B), described below, to be adsorbed onto the surface of the metal being processed.

[0020] For example, the proton ratio of the methyl group in the component (A1) is preferably 25 or more and 60 or less, more preferably 25 or more and 50 or less, and even more preferably 25 or more and 45 or less.

[0021] 1 The measurement equipment and conditions for H-NMR measurement are as follows: Equipment used: Bruker AVANCE III HD-cryo600 NMR 1H resonance frequency: 600.18MHz Solvent: CDCl3 Concentration: Approximately 50mg / mL Measurement method: 1 H Non-decoupling method Pulse width: 30° pulse Waiting time: 5 seconds Chemical shift standard: CHCl3 (7.28 ppm) in CDCl3

[0022] When component (A1) is a mineral oil, the proton ratio of the methyl group in component (A1) can be controlled by selecting the crude oil and by appropriately managing the refining conditions (temperature, pressure, catalyst, etc.) in refining such as solvent deasphalting, solvent extraction, hydrocracking, solvent dewaxing, catalytic dewaxing, hydrorefining, sulfuric acid washing, and clay treatment of the fraction obtained by atmospheric distillation and / or reduced pressure distillation of the crude oil. When the component (A1) is GTL or CTL, the proton ratio of the methyl group in the component (A1) can be controlled by appropriately managing the reaction conditions (temperature, pressure, catalyst, etc.) of the FT reaction.

[0023] The component (A1) is preferably a branched chain hydrocarbon having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, and more preferably a branched chain hydrocarbon having 6 to 18 carbon atoms. Furthermore, the component (A1) is preferably a mixture of hydrocarbons with different carbon numbers. The carbon number of the hydrocarbon in the present invention means the carbon number obtained by gas chromatographic distillation, which will be described later.

[0024] In the carbon number distribution of component (A1), the volume ratio (CB / CA) of the proportion (volume %) of hydrocarbons with the highest carbon number (CA) to the proportion (volume %) of hydrocarbons with the second highest carbon number (CB) is preferably 0.4 or more, and more preferably 0.45 or more.

[0025] In the carbon number distribution of the component (A1), the proportion of hydrocarbons having 10 or less carbon atoms (CC) is preferably 20% by volume or more, and more preferably 25% by volume or more. The proportion of hydrocarbons having 10 or less carbon atoms (CC) is preferably 60% by volume or less, and more preferably 50% by volume or less.

[0026] The carbon number distribution in component (A1) can be controlled by distilling the mineral oil, GTL, or CTL while precisely adjusting the pressure, temperature, reflux ratio, or number of plates in the distillation column when producing the mineral oil, GTL, or CTL.

[0027] [Carbon number distribution measurement] The measurement conditions for gas chromatographic distillation are as follows.

[0030] In this specification, the initial boiling point and end point of the component (A1) refer to values ​​measured by the atmospheric pressure method specified in JIS K2254:2018.

[0031] By ensuring that the initial boiling point of component (A1) is equal to or greater than the above-mentioned preferred value, volatilization at room temperature can be more sufficiently prevented, and processability can be further improved.

[0032] By ensuring that the end point of component (A1) is equal to or less than the above preferred value, processability is further improved.

[0033] The difference between the end point and the initial boiling point of component (A1) (end point - initial boiling point) is preferably 10°C or more, more preferably 15°C or more, and even more preferably 20°C or more.

[0034] When the difference between the final boiling point and the initial boiling point of component (A1) is equal to or greater than the above-mentioned preferred value, that is, the greater the amount of hydrocarbons with different carbon numbers, the more improved the processability.

[0035] In one embodiment, the component (A1) is 1 When the integral value of all protons detected by H-NMR analysis is taken as 100, the ratio of methyl group protons is 65 or less, preferably 60 or less, more preferably 50 or less, and even more preferably 45 or less; 1 the ratio of methyl group protons is 15 or more, preferably 20 or more, and more preferably 25 or more, when the integral value of all protons detected by H-NMR analysis is taken as 100; In the carbon number distribution obtained by gas chromatographic distillation, the volume ratio (CB / CA) of the proportion (CA) (volume %) of hydrocarbons having the highest carbon number to the proportion (CB) (volume %) of hydrocarbons having the second highest carbon number is preferably 0.4 or more, more preferably 0.45 or more; A mixture of branched chain hydrocarbons having 6 to 20 carbon atoms is preferred, and a mixture of branched chain hydrocarbons having 6 to 18 carbon atoms is more preferred.

[0039] Component (B) may be a block copolymer having an oxyethylene group block (OE block) with long succession of oxyethylene groups (OE) and an oxypropylene group block (OP block) with long succession of oxypropylene groups (OP), or it may be a random copolymer in which the arrangement of OE and OP is disordered.

When the oxyalkylene groups in the polyoxyalkylene compound consist only of oxypropylene groups and oxyethylene groups, the proportion (mol %) of oxyethylene groups can be calculated by OE / (OE+OP)×100.

[0047] The proportion of oxypropylene groups bonded to the terminals of polyoxyalkylene compounds The proportion of oxypropylene groups bonded to the terminals of the polyoxyalkylene compound can be determined by calculating the proportion of oxypropylene groups bonded to the terminals relative to the total amount (100 mol%) of oxyalkylene groups bonded to the terminals.

[0048] The proportion of oxyethylene groups bonded to the terminals of polyoxyalkylene compounds The proportion of oxyethylene groups bonded to the terminals of a polyoxyalkylene compound can be determined by calculating the proportion of oxyethylene groups bonded to the terminals relative to the total amount (100 mol%) of oxyalkylene groups bonded to the terminals.

[0049] The oxypropylene group bonded to the terminal (OP terminal) can be quantified by the integral values ​​near 65 ppm and 67 ppm in the above NMR measurement. The oxyethylene group bonded to the terminal (OE terminal) can be quantified by the integrated value around 61 ppm in the above NMR measurement. When the oxyalkylene groups in a polyoxyalkylene compound consist only of oxypropylene groups and oxyethylene groups, the proportion (mol %) of oxypropylene groups bonded to the terminals can be calculated by OP terminals / (OE terminals + OP terminals) x 100.

Rate: 6℃ / min Inj.Vol: 1 μL toluene solution

[0089] [Table 1]

[0090] <Preparation of Metalworking Oil Composition> (Examples 1 to 8, Comparative Examples 1 to 3) The components shown in Tables 2 and 3 were mixed to prepare metalworking oil compositions of the respective examples. In Tables 2 and 3, the abbreviations have the following meanings:

[0091] A-1, A-2, A-3, a-1: Each base oil shown in Table 1 B-1: Polyglycol monoalkyl ether (EO:PO=35:65, number average molecular weight 300, one end of the alkyl structure of the ether is butyl ether) B-2: Polyglycol monoalkyl ether (EO:PO=35:65, number average molecular weight 970, one end of the alkyl structure of the ether is butyl ether) C-1: Lauryl alcohol D-1: Polypropylene glycol Newpol PP200 (manufactured by Sanyo Chemical Industries, Ltd.) E-1: 1-dodecene

[0092] B-1 and B-2: The structure (ratio of oxyethylene groups, ratio of oxypropylene groups) and number average molecular weight of the polyglycol monoalkyl ethers were measured by the methods shown below.

[0093] [Structure of polyoxyalkylene compound] The structure of the polyoxyalkylene compound was analyzed by NMR measurement using 13C as the nuclide. NMR measurement conditions Measurement equipment: Agilent, product name "DD2" Magnet: 600MHz Nuclide: 13C Analytical methods: 1H inverse gated decoupling and DEPT135 Waiting time: 10 to 20 seconds Solvent: CDCl3

[0094] Oxyethylene group ratio The proportion of oxyethylene groups was determined by calculating the proportion of oxyethylene groups relative to the total amount (100 mol%) of oxyalkylene groups contained in the polyoxyalkylene compound. The oxypropylene group (OP) was quantified by [CH3 terminal derived from propylene oxide (PO) (integral value around 17 ppm) + CH derived from PO (integral value around 75 ppm)] / 2. The oxyethylene group (OE) was quantified by [sum of integral values ​​of all CH2 (downward-pointing peaks in the DEPT spectrum measured by DEPT135) - {CH3 terminal derived from PO (integral value around 17 ppm) + CH derived from PO (integral value around 75 ppm)} / 2] / 2. When the oxyalkylene groups in the polyoxyalkylene compound consisted only of oxypropylene groups and oxyethylene groups, the proportion (mol %) of oxyethylene groups was calculated by OE / (OE+OP)×100.

[0095] The proportion of oxypropylene groups bonded to the terminals of polyoxyalkylene compounds The proportion of oxypropylene groups bonded to the terminals of the polyoxyalkylene compound was determined by calculating the proportion of oxypropylene groups bonded to the terminals relative to the total amount (100 mol%) of oxyalkylene groups bonded to the terminals.

[0096] The proportion of oxyethylene groups bonded to the terminals of polyoxyalkylene compounds The proportion of oxyethylene groups bonded to the terminals of the polyoxyalkylene compound was determined by calculating the proportion of oxyethylene groups bonded to the terminals relative to the total amount (100 mol%) of oxyalkylene groups bonded to the terminals.

[0097] The oxypropylene groups bonded to the terminals (OP terminals) were quantified based on the integral values ​​near 65 ppm and 67 ppm in the above NMR measurement. The oxyethylene group bonded to the terminal (OE terminal) was quantified by the integrated value around 61 ppm in the above NMR measurement. When the oxyalkylene groups in a polyoxyalkylene compound consist only of oxypropylene groups and oxyethylene groups, the proportion (mol %) of oxypropylene groups bonded to the terminals was calculated by OP terminals / (OE terminals + OP terminals) x 100. The proportion (mol %) of oxyethylene groups bonded to the terminals was calculated by OE terminals / (OE terminals + OP terminals) x 100.

[0098] [Number average molecular weight] The number average molecular weight of the polyoxyalkylene compound was measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC).

[0099] [Evaluation of processing performance] An aluminum flat plate sliding test was conducted to evaluate the machinability of each metalworking oil composition. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an outline of the flat plate sliding test. In FIG. 1, a test piece 1 was made of an aluminum alloy and was immersed in the metalworking oil composition of each example before being used for the test. The test piece 1 was clamped between a pair of flat plate blocks 2a and 2b, and a predetermined load (hereinafter referred to as "clamping load") was applied from the upper surface of the flat plate block 2a (arrow A in FIG. 1). Next, the test piece 1 to which the clamping load had been applied was pulled out horizontally (arrow B in FIG. 1). The pull-out load when pulling out the test piece 1 was measured, and the results are shown in Tables 2 and 3. The smaller the pull-out load when pulling out the test piece 1, the better the machinability of the metalworking oil composition. The details of the test conditions are as follows:

[0100] <Test conditions> Aluminum test piece: JIS A1050 material Flat block 2a, 2b: SKD-11, 300mm (width) x 600mm (length) x 10mm (thickness), contact area with test piece 1: 10mm x 250mm Clamping load: 1.5kN Pulling speed: 100mm / min Temperature of the metalworking oil composition of each example at the time of immersion application: 40°C ± 3°C Temperature of test piece 1 during the test: 25°C ± 3°C Temperature of the flat block: 25°C ± 3°C

[0101] [Evaluation of hydrophilicity] <Measurement of contact angle after drying> An aluminum test piece (JIS A1050 material) was immersed in each metalworking oil composition for 5 minutes. The aluminum test piece was then removed, dried at 140°C for 7 minutes, and cooled to room temperature (25°C). 0.002 mL of water was then dropped onto the test piece, and the contact angle was measured. The average values ​​of three measurements are shown in Tables 2 and 3. A contact angle of 15° or less was considered acceptable.

[0102] <Measurement of contact angle after rinsing with water> An aluminum test piece (JIS A1050 material) was immersed in each metalworking oil composition for 5 minutes. The aluminum test piece was then removed and dried at 140°C for 7 minutes. The aluminum test piece was then suspended in a beaker, and tap water was poured into it without directly contacting the aluminum test piece, and the aluminum test piece was rinsed for 30 minutes. The aluminum test piece was then dried at 80°C for 10 minutes, cooled to room temperature (25°C), and 0.002 mL of water was dropped onto the test piece, and the contact angle was measured. The average values ​​of three measurements are shown in Tables 2 and 3. A contact angle of 15° or less was considered acceptable.

[0103] [Table 2]

[0104] [Table 3]

[0105] As shown in Tables 2 and 3, it was confirmed that the metalworking oil compositions of Examples 1 to 8 had better processability and could improve the hydrophilicity of metals compared to the metalworking oil compositions of Comparative Examples 1 to 3. In the metalworking oil compositions of Examples 1 to 8, low-molecular-weight additives derived from component (B) remained after drying, and because base oil (A) with moderate branching was used, component (B) was more easily adsorbed to the aluminum surface, resulting in a lower contact angle and better hydrophilicity than the metalworking oil compositions of Comparative Examples 1 to 3. Furthermore, the metal working oil compositions of Examples 1 to 8 had a lower contact angle and better hydrophilicity than the metal working oil compositions of Comparative Examples 1 to 3 because the low molecular weight additive derived from component (B) remained even after rinsing with water.
