Abstract

The present disclosure relates to lubricating oil compositions, and in particular, lubricating oil compositions for slideway applications, additive compositions for the slideway lubricants, and methods of lubricating a machine part, such as a slideway with the lubricating oil compositions. In one aspect, the lubricating oil compositions have a composition that provides both good friction performance and good separability from metal working fluids at the same time.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A slideway lubricant composition exhibiting good friction performance and good separability from metal working fluid at the same time, the slideway lubricant composition including
a major amount of a base lubricating oil;
a phosphorous containing friction modifier providing 0.025 to 0.04 weight percent of a hydrocarbyl phosphonate monoester to the slideway lubricant composition;
the hydrocarbyl phosphonate monoester including a C1 alkyl group in the monoester moiety and 18 carbon atoms in the hydrocarbyl moiety;
0.14 to 0.4021 weight percent of a dioleyl hydrogen phosphite; and
wherein the slideway lubricant composition has a lower friction coefficient than a slideway lubricant composition including a phosphonate diester instead of the hydrocarbyl phosphonate monoester and also has an average one hour SKC Separability from metal working fluids lower than 2.

2. The slideway lubricant composition of claim 1 , wherein the slideway lubricant composition has a lower friction coefficient than a slideway lubricant composition including the same amount of a phosphonate diester; and wherein the slideway lubricant composition also has an average one hour SKC separability from metal working fluids lower than about 2.

3. The slideway lubricant composition of claim 1 , wherein the phosphorous containing friction modifier has a weight ratio of the hydrocarbyl phosphonate monoester to the dioleyl hydrogen phosphite from about 0.02:1 to about 10:1.

4. The slideway lubricant composition of claim 1 , wherein an amount of phosphorous in the form of a phosphonate in the phosphorous containing friction modifier is about 30 to about 80 percent of the total phosphorous provided by the hydrocarbyl phosphonate monoester and the dioleyl hydrogen phosphite.

5. The slideway lubricant composition of claim 1 , wherein the hydrocarbyl phosphonate monoester has the formula

wherein R 1 is a C 18 hydrocarbyl group and R 2 is a methyl group.

6. The slideway lubricant composition of claim 1 , further comprising less than about 0.25 weight percent of a phosphonate diester.

7. The slideway lubricant composition of claim 6 , wherein the phosphonate diester has the formula

wherein R 4 is a C 1 to C 30 hydrocarbyl group and each R 5 is independently a C 1 to C 4 alkyl groups.

8. The slideway lubricant composition of claim 1 , wherein the slideway lubricant composition further includes one or more amine salts of phosphate esters derived from mono or di-alkyl or alkenyl phosphate esters and alkyl or alkenyl primary or secondary amines.

9. The slideway lubricant composition of claim 1 , wherein the slideway lubricant composition further includes sulfur-containing lubricant additives selected from sulfurized hydrocarbons, sulfurized olefins, dialkyl polysulfides, diarylpolysulfides, sulfurized fatty acids, sulfurized fatty acid esters, and mixtures thereof.

10. The slideway lubricant composition of claim 1 , further comprising an acidic thiophosphate or a thiophosphate ester.

11. The slideway lubricant composition of claim 10 , wherein the acidic thiophosphate or thiophosphate ester has the formula

wherein R 6 is a C1 to C10 linear or branched carboxylic group or a C1 to C10 linear or branched alkyl alkanoate group and each R 7 is independently a linear or branched C1 to C10 hydrocarbyl group.

12. The slideway lubricant composition of claim 1 , further comprising saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated C12 to C30 fatty acids or fatty acid esters.

13. The slideway lubricant composition of claim 1 , wherein the phosphorous containing friction modifier has a weight ratio of the hydrocarbyl phosphonate monoester to dioleyl hydrogen phosphite from about 0.09:1 to about 0.3:1.
