Description

[Technical Field]

[0002] High workability is required when plastically processing metal materials such as aluminum and copper plates. Specifically, it is necessary to be able to process with high dimensional accuracy according to the product design, to be able to process at high speeds to improve productivity, to ensure that metal distortion during processing does not adversely affect the performance of the processed product, and to minimize tool wear so that the tools can be used for a long period of time. For this reason, lubricants (metalworking oils) are often used when plastically processing metal materials. Conventionally, oil-based metalworking fluids have been used as metalworking fluids, but in recent years, water-soluble metalworking fluids have been widely used because they have excellent cooling and wetting properties, no risk of fire due to high-temperature drying, and have a low environmental impact (e.g., Patent Documents 1 and 2).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

Each component will be described in detail below.

[0009] (A) Carboxylic acid having 8 to 18 carbon atoms The carboxylic acid having 8 to 18 carbon atoms used in the present invention is preferably a fatty acid, and may be a saturated or unsaturated fatty acid. Furthermore, the fatty acid used here is not limited to one with a straight-chain structure, but also includes branched isomers. By using a carboxylic acid having 8 to 18 carbon atoms, the water solubility and wettability of the water-soluble metalworking fluid can be improved, and the stability of the undiluted solution can be enhanced. The number of carboxyl groups in the carboxylic acid is not particularly limited, and the carboxylic acid may be a monocarboxylic acid or a polycarboxylic acid. From the viewpoint of ease of handling, the number is preferably 1 to 6, more preferably 1 to 4, and even more preferably 1 to 2, i.e., a monocarboxylic acid or a dicarboxylic acid. Specific examples of carboxylic acids that can be used in the present invention include, but are not limited to, monocarboxylic acids such as octanoic acid (caprylic acid), 2-ethylhexanoic acid, isooctanoic acid, nonanoic acid (pelargonic acid), isononanoic acid, decanoic acid (capric acid), isodecanoic acid, neodecanoic acid, undecanoic acid, isoundecanoic acid, dodecanoic acid (lauric acid), isododecanoic acid, tridecanoic acid, isotridecanoic acid, tetradecanoic acid (myristic acid), hexadecanoic acid (palmitic acid), heptadecanoic acid (margaric acid), octadecanoic acid (stearic acid), isostearic acid, 10-undecenoic acid, zomalic acid, oleic acid, elaidic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid; Dicarboxylic acids such as nonanedioic acid, undecanedioic acid, sebacic acid (decanedioic acid), and dodecanedioic acid; Examples include soybean oil fatty acids, coconut oil fatty acids, and tall oil fatty acids (C18) extracted from oils and fats.

In particular, saturated fatty acids having 10 to 12 carbon atoms are more preferred, and lauric acid, decanoic acid, neodecanoic acid (a mixture of octanoic acid, nonanoic acid, and decanoic acid), undecanedioic acid, sebacic acid, and dodecanedioic acid are even more preferred, with lauric acid, neodecanoic acid, sebacic acid, and dodecanedioic acid being particularly preferred. These carboxylic acids may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0011] In the water-soluble metalworking oil of the present invention, the content of (A) the carboxylic acid having 8 to 18 carbon atoms is preferably in the range of 1 to 30 mass%, more preferably 2.5 to 25 mass%, and even more preferably 5 to 20 mass%, based on the total amount of the water-soluble metalworking oil, from the viewpoint of improving wettability.

[0012] (B) at least one member selected from the group consisting of alkylene oxide adducts of polyhydric alcohols, polymerized fatty acids, and polyalkylene glycols; The water-soluble metalworking fluid of the present invention contains at least one component selected from the group consisting of an alkylene oxide adduct of a polyhydric alcohol, a polymerized fatty acid, and a polyalkylene glycol. By containing these components, the water-soluble metalworking fluid of the present invention can have excellent processability (low coefficient of friction).

[0013] (B-1) Alkylene oxide adduct of polyhydric alcohol The alkylene oxide adduct of polyhydric alcohol used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is an adduct of an alkylene oxide to a polyhydric alcohol.

[0014] Specific examples of polyhydric alcohols include ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerin, diglycerin, triglycerin, trimethylolalkanes (e.g., trimethylolethane, trimethylolpropane, trimethylolbutane), dimers and trimers thereof, pentaerythritol, sorbitol, sorbitan, etc. Among these, monohydric to hexahydric, further dihydric to pentahydric, and particularly trihydric and tetrahydric polyhydric alcohols are preferred, with pentaerythritol and trimethylolpropane being particularly preferred, and pentaerythritol being more preferred.

[0015] When producing an alkylene oxide adduct of a polyhydric alcohol, the polyhydric alcohol may be used as is, or a compound having an ester group obtained by reacting some of its hydroxyl groups with a fatty acid may be used. The fatty acid may be linear, branched, or cyclic, and may be saturated or unsaturated. The number of carbon atoms in the fatty acid is preferably 2 to 24, more preferably 4 to 20. Specific examples include lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, and isostearic acid.

[0016] Preferred alkylene oxides include ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, with ethylene oxide being particularly preferred. Although alkylene oxide may be added to only some of the hydroxyl groups, it is preferable to add alkylene oxide to all of the hydroxyl groups from the viewpoint of effectiveness. The alkylene oxide moieties may be added in a random or block manner.

[0017] The alkylene oxide adduct of polyhydric alcohol used in the present invention is preferably at least one of compounds of the following formula (1) to (4): [ka]

[0018] [ka]

[0019] [ka]

[0020] [ka]

[0021] In the above formula (1), R 11 , R 12 , R 13 and R 14 are each independently an alkylene group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms. e, f, g, and h are each independently an integer of 1 to 30. In the above formula (2), R 4 is an alkyl group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms. 21 , R 22 and R 23 are each independently an alkylene group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms. i, j, and k are each independently an integer of 1 to 30. In the above formula (3), R 5 and R 6 R are each independently an alkyl group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms. 31 and R 32 are each independently an alkylene group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms. l and m are each independently an integer of 1 to 30. In the above formula (4), R 7 , R 8 and R 9 R are each independently an alkyl group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms. 41 is an alkylene group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and n is an integer of 1 to 30. In the above formula, EO means an ethylene oxide unit.

[0022] Among these, from the viewpoint of improving abrasion resistance, an EO adduct of pentaerythritol or an EO adduct of trimethylolpropane is more preferred.

[0023] (B-2) Polymerized fatty acids The polymerized fatty acid used in the present invention includes a polymer of fatty acid, a polycondensed fatty acid (1) obtained by dehydration polycondensation of a hydroxycarboxylic acid, and a polycondensed fatty acid (2) obtained by dehydration polycondensation of an alcoholic hydroxyl group of the polycondensed fatty acid (1) with a monocarboxylic acid. As the fatty acid multimer, monomers to dodecamers of the fatty acids exemplified as component (A) are preferred, dimers to decamers are more preferred, and tetramers to octamers are even more preferred. Examples of hydroxycarboxylic acids include ricinoleic acid (ricinoleic acid) and 12-hydroxystearic acid. When the hydroxycarboxylic acid is heated to, for example, about 200°C in an inert atmosphere, dehydration polycondensation begins, and polycondensed fatty acid (1) is obtained. For example, mono- to dodeca-mers of hydroxy fatty acids are preferred, di- to decamers are more preferred, and tetra- to octa-mers are even more preferred. The degree of polycondensation of hydroxycarboxylic acids can be adjusted by the reaction time. As the reaction time increases, the acid value and hydroxyl value decrease, resulting in a fatty acid with a higher degree of polycondensation. The higher the degree of polycondensation, the higher the characteristic temperature of the resulting polycondensed fatty acid. Polycondensed fatty acid (2) can be obtained by adding a monocarboxylic acid to a dehydration polycondensate of hydroxycarboxylic acid and carrying out dehydration polycondensation. The progress of the reaction is confirmed by a decrease in the hydroxyl value. This reaction can produce a polycondensed fatty acid with a higher characteristic temperature. The monocarboxylic acid used in this reaction may be saturated or unsaturated, but carboxylic acids with four or more carbon atoms are preferred because unreacted carboxylic acids with fewer carbon atoms may cause unpleasant odors or metal corrosion. Examples of saturated carboxylic acids include caproic acid, enanthic acid, caprylic acid, 2-ethylhexanoic acid, pelargonic acid, isononanoic acid, capric acid, neodecanoic acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, arachidic acid, behenic acid, and lignoceric acid. Examples of unsaturated carboxylic acids include undecylenic acid, oleic acid, elaidic acid, erucic acid, nervonic acid, linoleic acid, γ-linolenic acid, arachidonic acid, α-linolenic acid, stearidonic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid.

The acid value of the polymerized fatty acid is a value measured based on JIS K2501:2003, and the hydroxyl value is a value measured based on JIS K0070:1992. In this specification, the weight average molecular weight (Mw) is a value obtained using polystyrene as a calibration curve, and is specifically measured under the following conditions.

Among these, alkylene oxide adducts of acetylene glycol are preferred from the viewpoints of wettability and defoaming properties.

[0039] The alkylene oxide adduct of acetylene glycol functions as a so-called nonionic surfactant, and by incorporating such a specific surfactant, the wettability of the water-soluble metalworking oil of the present invention is improved, making it easier for the oil to penetrate into the metal material being worked. As the alkylene oxide adduct of acetylene glycol, for example, the alkylene oxide adducts of acetylene glycol described in JP-A-2011-12249 or JP-A-2012-12504 can be suitably used.

When the HLB is within this range, the solubility in water is improved. Furthermore, the wettability of the present processing oil is further improved and foaming is less likely to occur. In addition, a contamination suppression effect is also obtained. In one embodiment of the present invention, the alkylene oxide adduct of acetylene glycol preferably contains two types of such adducts with an HLB difference of 1 or more. When the present processing oil contains such adducts with an HLB difference of 1 or more, the affinity for both water and metal materials is improved, thereby further improving the wettability of metal materials.

[0063] The stock solution stability, rust prevention, putrefaction resistance, aluminum discoloration, wettability, copper discoloration and processability were evaluated by the following methods.

[0064] (1) Stock solution stability Each component of the stock solution was placed in a beaker and mixed with a stirrer to form a homogeneous solution. After leaving the solution to stand overnight, the state of the solution in the beaker was visually observed and the stock solution stability was evaluated according to the following criteria. A: Dissolved B: Dispersed (cloudy) C: Hardened

[0065] (2) Rust resistance (DIN) A rust prevention test (casting chip test) was conducted in accordance with DIN51360-02A. Specifically, the following is the procedure: Two grams of casting chips (cast iron chips obtained by dry-cutting FC-250) were placed on a 70 mm diameter filter paper (Type 5C) in a petri dish, ensuring no chips overlapped. The dish was then immersed in 2 mL of the evaluation dilution solution (diluted with tap water) and covered. The dish was left at room temperature for two hours, and the presence or absence of rust transferred to the filter paper was assessed using a five-level rust level scale (0, 1, 2, 3, 4). This casting chip test was performed for each concentration of the evaluation dilution solution. Diluting the dilution solution resulted in worsening rust levels, while increasing the dilution solution resulted in better rust levels. The above test was performed for each dilution solution concentration, and the minimum concentration at which no rust was observed (rust level = 0) was defined as the rust prevention limit (mass%), which serves as an index for the rust prevention properties of the sample. The rust prevention limit is expressed as the ratio of the original solution to the diluted solution when diluted with ion-exchanged water. In Table 1, "DIN x 10" indicates the rust prevention limit when the original solution is diluted 10 times with ion-exchanged water. Similarly, "DIN x 20," "DIN x 30," "DIN x 50," "DIN x 80," and "DIN x 100" represent the rust prevention limits when the original solution is diluted at each dilution rate.

[0066] (3) Rot resistance To 100 ml of a sample prepared by diluting water-soluble metalworking fluid with water to 2% by volume, 5 ml of putrefactive fluid A and 0.5 ml of putrefactive fluid B shown below were added, and the mixture was shaken at 30°C and 150 rpm for 7 days, and the viable bacterial count was measured. After measuring the viable bacterial count on the 7th day, 2.5 ml of putrefactive fluid A and 0.25 ml of putrefactive fluid B were added, and the mixture was shaken for another 7 days, and the viable bacterial count was measured. The putrefactive test conditions and viable bacterial count measurement method were as follows: <Conditions for decay testing> Culture conditions: 3 g of FC200 dry chips was added, and the mixture was shaken at 30°C and 150 rpm. Putrid fluid A: Decayed and deteriorated water-soluble processing oil was added with Nippon Pharmaceutical's SCD medium "Daigo" and activated by aeration for 72 hours. Putrid fluid B: Decayed and deteriorated water-soluble processed oil solution was added to Nippon Pharmaceutical's potato dextrose agar medium "Daigo" and activated by aeration for 72 hours. <Method for measuring viable bacteria count> The number of bacteria in 1 ml or the degree of bacterial contamination was measured using a Sanai Biochecker manufactured by Sanai Oil Co., Ltd., and was displayed based on the following criteria for displaying viable bacterial counts. In addition, the viable bacterial counts after 14 days were evaluated for spoilage resistance based on the following criteria for evaluating spoilage resistance. <Spoilage resistance rating> A: General bacteria not detected ~ 10 3 / mL, mold, yeast, and anaerobic bacteria not detected B: General bacteria 10 4 More than 100 / mL, mold, yeast, and anaerobic bacteria not detected C: General bacteria 10 4 More than 100 / mL, mold, yeast, and anaerobic bacteria detected

[0067] (4) Aluminum discoloration The following two types of test pieces were prepared. JIS A6061 (aluminum alloy): 75 x 25 x 1 mm JIS ADC12 (aluminum alloy): 81 x 19 x 11 mm Next, both sides of each test piece were polished evenly with sandpaper (C320), and the polished powder was wiped off.The polished test pieces were then placed in a beaker, and acetone was added until the test pieces were submerged.Then, the test pieces were washed for 10 minutes in an ultrasonic cleaner (manufactured by AS ONE Corporation, model name "USD-2R"), and the test pieces were placed in a basket so that they did not overlap each other and left to dry. Next, a sample solution (a 20-fold dilution of the original solution with ion-exchanged water (5% diluted solution)) is placed in a 100 mL sample bottle with a lid, and the bottle is filled with the test cleaning solution so that the entire polished test piece is immersed in the cleaning solution.The bottle is then covered with the lid and left to stand in a thermostatic bath at 60°C for 2 hours.The test piece is then removed, washed with tap water, and then wiped dry. The degree of discoloration of the appearance of each test piece thus obtained was visually observed, and aluminum discoloration resistance (discoloration prevention ability) was evaluated according to the following criteria. A: No discoloration on the immersed surface B: Less than 50% of the immersion surface is discolored C: More than 50% of the immersion surface has discolored The evaluation results are shown as AA, DD, etc. for the discoloration caused by A6061 and ADC12. The appearance of the aqueous solution after the immersion test was also visually observed to check for the presence or absence of cloudiness or precipitation.

[0068] (5) Wettability The contact angle of ion-exchanged water on the surface of an aluminum fin (bare material) was measured using a contact angle meter "DM500" manufactured by Kyowa Interface Science Co., Ltd. The wettability was evaluated according to the following criteria. A: Contact angle 40° or less B: Contact angle 40~60° C: Contact angle 60° or more

[0069] (6) Copper discoloration (copper plate corrosion test) A copper plate corrosion test was carried out in accordance with JIS K 2513:2000, and the corrosion resistance was evaluated according to the following criteria. A: No discoloration is observed on the copper plate. C: Discoloration is observed on the copper plate

[0070] (7) Processability (friction coefficient) The stock solution was diluted 50 times (by volume) with ion-exchanged water, and then applied to a test piece, and the dynamic friction coefficient (μ) was determined by the reciprocating dynamic friction test described below. As a reference example, a test using only ion-exchanged water was also conducted.

[0071] <Reciprocating friction test> Testing machine: Reciprocating friction testing machine (manufactured by Orientec Co., Ltd.) Test piece: Pre-coated aluminum fin material for heat exchangers (Polyethylene glycol is applied to the surface as a hydrophilic film) Test conditions: Liquid temperature: 70℃ Load: 3kgf (29N) Sliding speed: 20mm / s Amplitude: 50mm Under these conditions, the highest friction coefficient was read from the first sliding. Note that the friction coefficient is an average value measured for three test pieces for each of the examples and comparative examples.

[0072] The evaluation results are shown in Table 1. As shown in Table 1, the water-soluble metalworking oil of the present invention achieved good results in terms of stock solution stability, rust prevention, putrefaction resistance, aluminum tarnish resistance, wettability, copper tarnish resistance, and processability (Examples 1 to 7). In particular, when a combination of an alkylene oxide adduct of a polyhydric alcohol, a polymerized fatty acid, and a polyalkylene glycol was used as component (B), the processability (low coefficient of friction), stock solution stability, rust prevention, putrefaction resistance, aluminum tarnish resistance, wettability, and copper tarnish resistance were excellent (Example 3). On the other hand, when the combination of the amine compound of component (C) was lacking, the processability was reduced, and the desired effects in terms of rust prevention, corrosion resistance, aluminum tarnish resistance, wettability, and copper tarnish resistance were not obtained in some cases (Comparative Examples 1 to 4).
