- test suspension can be run with a modified test protocol.
- the modified protocol operates at a lower entraining velocity than the standard test protocol, which reduces the EHD film thickness and increases the test severity by causing greater asperity interaction; essentially operating at a reduced film thickness to surface roughness (h/a) ratio.
- the modified test protocol was developed for high load-carrying oils used for aviation gearboxes. These oils include the DOD-PRF-85734 oils for the U.S. Navy and the Def Stan 91-100 oils for the U.K. Ministry of Defense. With the modified test protocol, the highest load-carrying oils currently used in military aircraft experience scuffing failures at load stages that range from approximately 19 to 28.
- the test method used ball and disc specimens.
- the ball specimens were 13/16-inch diameter, and the disc specimens were 4 inches in diameter and 1 ⁇ 2 inch thick. Material composition, hardness and surface finish were closely controlled.
- the specimens were fabricated from AISI 9310 steel, a surface-carburizing alloy that is very common for gear applications.
- AISI 9310 balls, or “Hard Ground” balls were heat-treated and ground in a ball manufacturing process.
- the balls were fabricated through the hard grinding stage.
- the surface finish following this operational stage was between 10-12 micro inch Ra (arithmetic average roughness).
- composition, hardness and surface finish of the specimens are given below:
- the load carrying capacity is indicated by an average scuffing (scoring) failure stage (load stage). Increased performance is observed with higher load stages.
- Spur gear blanks having a pitch diameter of 4 inches (100 mm), were fabricated from the Carpenter Technology alloy, Pyrowear alloy 53, in vacuum-induction-melted, vacuum-arc-remelted (VIM/VAR) condition. Following rough machining, gear blanks were given a standard heat treatment and carburization cycle and were finish ground to produce gears that conform to minimum standards of AGMA class 12 .
- the arithmetic average surface roughness of the spur gear involute surfaces that resulted from the final grinding operation was nominally 16 pin. Following final grinding, some gears were afforded an isotropic superfinishing operation to refine the surface finish on the involute surfaces to a nominal arithmetic average value of 2 ⁇ in.
- Spur-gear tests were performed on a “four-square” test machine, in which two pairs of identical, mated gears are exposed to the same conditions of contact stress, rotational speed, oil-film thickness, and oil temperature.
- the employed test protocol called for experimental conditions to remain imposed on the spur gears until incipient failure was detected by in situ accelerometers, in which the accelerometer signal amplitude exceeded a predetermined threshold. Visual examination was used to confirm surface failure of the spur-gear involute surface.
- Specific conditions that were applied for the conducted spur-gear tests included a rotational speed of 3500 min ⁇ 1 , an inlet oil temperature of approximately 115° F. (46° C.), and an oil film thickness of approximately 6 ⁇ in (152 nm).
- Discrete contact stresses of 235 Ksi (1.62 GPa) or 280 Ksi (1.93 GPa) were applied and maintained until surface failure was detected and confirmed.
- the ball and disc were composed of AISI 9310 and had a surface hardness, using the Rockwell “C” scale (HRC) surface hardness, of Rc 63 (63 HRC).
- results from the spur-gear tests are summarized in Table 3 below.
- Table 3 the average life to surface-fatigue life of as-ground gears lubricated with Formulation #2 at a contact stress of 235 Ksi (1.62 GPa) is a factor of 2.9 times greater than that for as-ground gears lubricated with Exxon-Mobil Jet Oil II.
- the surface-fatigue life of isotropically superfinished (ISF) spur gears lubricated with Formulation #2 at a contact stress of 280 Ksi (1.93 GPa) is a factor of more than 3.3 times greater than that for ISF-processed gears lubricated with Exxon-Mobil Jet Oil II.
- ISF isotropically superfinished
- compositions apply equally to other lubricant stock compositions including, but not limited to, lubricants comprising grease, mineral (hydrocarbon-based), polyalkylene glycol (PAG), aromatic naphthalene (AN), alkyl benzenes (AB) and polyalphaolefin (PAO) types.

- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a lubricant that includes a multifunctional additive composition or package for improving the performance characteristics of a lubricant. More particularly, the present invention relates to a lubricant that includes a multifunctional additive composition or package for providing a lubricant with superior performance characteristics such as improved load-carrying capacity, anti-scuffing (anti-scoring) capacity, friction reduction, and improved surface-fatigue life.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Mechanical systems such as manual or automatic transmissions; single and multi-speed aviation transmissions, including but not limited to those used to propel rotorcraft and those used to alter the rotational speed of sections within gas turbine engines, push-belt type continuous variable transmissions, and traction drive continuous variable transmissions, have large surface areas of contact zones. 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. Moreover, the need for reducing friction, improving scuffing (scoring) resistance, and increasing surface fatigue life within larger contact zones of mechanical systems is increased by many recently developed transmission systems that are designed to be miniaturized or weight-reduced to maximize transmission throughput capacity.
- To address these severe application demands, lubricants, especially those containing specific additives, play a critical role in protecting and minimizing the wear and scuffing (scoring) of surfaces. The lubricants generally reduce principal damage accumulation mechanisms of lubricated components caused by surface fatigue and overloading.
- Examples of known lubricants are discussed in the following publications, which are hereby incorporated in full by reference: Phillips, W. D., Ashless phosphorus-containing lubricating oil additives, Lubricant Additives Chemistry and Application 45-111 (L. R. Rudick, Marcel Dekker, Inc. 2003); and D. Kenbeck, and T. F. Buenemann, Organic Modifiers, Lubricant Additives Chemistry and Application 203-222 (L. R. Rudick, Marcel Dekker, Inc. 2003).
- Recently developed system-optimization approaches for increasing overall power throughput of mechanical systems underscore the need for new and better performing lubricant additives. 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.
- The present invention provides a lubricant for improving the performance characteristics of mechanical systems, such as increasing load-carrying capacity, increasing surface fatigue life and reducing friction.

WAM Load Capacity Test Method (“WAM Test”).

- High load-carrying oils frequently result in test suspension at
load stage 30 without a scuffing event. To differentiate candidate formulations that reach test suspension, tests can be run with a modified test protocol. The modified protocol operates at a lower entraining velocity than the standard test protocol, which reduces the EHD film thickness and increases the test severity by causing greater asperity interaction; essentially operating at a reduced film thickness to surface roughness (h/a) ratio. - The modified test protocol was developed for high load-carrying oils used for aviation gearboxes. These oils include the DOD-PRF-85734 oils for the U.S. Navy and the Def Stan 91-100 oils for the U.K. Ministry of Defense. With the modified test protocol, the highest load-carrying oils currently used in military aircraft experience scuffing failures at load stages that range from approximately 19 to 28.
- Formulation #4 and the Hatco HXL-7944 oil, and Formulation #2 and the Exxon-Mobil Jet Oil II, were comparatively evaluated for scuffing (scoring) resistance using the modified WAM Test method described above. The test method used ball and disc specimens. The ball specimens were 13/16-inch diameter, and the disc specimens were 4 inches in diameter and ½ inch thick. Material composition, hardness and surface finish were closely controlled. The specimens were fabricated from AISI 9310 steel, a surface-carburizing alloy that is very common for gear applications.
- AISI 9310 balls, or “Hard Ground” balls were heat-treated and ground in a ball manufacturing process. The balls were fabricated through the hard grinding stage. The surface finish following this operational stage was between 10-12 micro inch Ra (arithmetic average roughness).
- The composition, hardness and surface finish of the specimens are given below:

Increased performance is observed with higher load stages.
- Using this modified WAM Test protocol, it was found that the multifunctional additive package utilized in Formulation #4 increased the load carrying capacity (i.e., scuffing performance) of the Hatco HXL-7944Oil about 3.94 times. As can be seen in the attached FIGURE and Table C, the Hatco HXL-7944 Oil had an average scuffing failure load stage at about 5.7 (arrow 11), and Formulation #4 had an average scuffing failure load stage at about 22.5 (arrow 31), which indicates that Formulation #4 has a load carrying capacity about 3.94 times that of the Hatco HXL-7944 Oil.
- Using this modified WAM Test protocol, it was also found that the multifunctional additive package utilized in Formulation #2 increased the load carrying capacity (i.e., scuffing performance) of the Exxon-Mobil Jet Oil II about 1.43 times. As can be seen in the attached FIGURE and Table D, the Exxon-Mobil Jet Oil II had an average scuffing failure load stage at about 19.2 (arrow 21), and Formulation #2 had an average scuffing failure load stage at about 27.5 (not shown on the FIGURE), which indicates that Formulation #2 has a load carrying capacity about 1.43 times that of the Exxon-Mobil Jet Oil II.
- Spur gear blanks, having a pitch diameter of 4 inches (100 mm), were fabricated from the Carpenter Technology alloy, Pyrowear alloy 53, in vacuum-induction-melted, vacuum-arc-remelted (VIM/VAR) condition. Following rough machining, gear blanks were given a standard heat treatment and carburization cycle and were finish ground to produce gears that conform to minimum standards of AGMA class 12. The arithmetic average surface roughness of the spur gear involute surfaces that resulted from the final grinding operation was nominally 16 pin. Following final grinding, some gears were afforded an isotropic superfinishing operation to refine the surface finish on the involute surfaces to a nominal arithmetic average value of 2 μin.
- Spur-gear tests were performed on a “four-square” test machine, in which two pairs of identical, mated gears are exposed to the same conditions of contact stress, rotational speed, oil-film thickness, and oil temperature. The employed test protocol called for experimental conditions to remain imposed on the spur gears until incipient failure was detected by in situ accelerometers, in which the accelerometer signal amplitude exceeded a predetermined threshold. Visual examination was used to confirm surface failure of the spur-gear involute surface. Specific conditions that were applied for the conducted spur-gear tests included a rotational speed of 3500 min−1, an inlet oil temperature of approximately 115° F. (46° C.), and an oil film thickness of approximately 6 μin (152 nm). Discrete contact stresses of 235 Ksi (1.62 GPa) or 280 Ksi (1.93 GPa) were applied and maintained until surface failure was detected and confirmed. The ball and disc were composed of AISI 9310 and had a surface hardness, using the Rockwell “C” scale (HRC) surface hardness, of Rc 63 (63 HRC).
- Results from the spur-gear tests are summarized in Table 3 below. As indicated in Table 3, the average life to surface-fatigue life of as-ground gears lubricated with Formulation #2 at a contact stress of 235 Ksi (1.62 GPa) is a factor of 2.9 times greater than that for as-ground gears lubricated with Exxon-Mobil Jet Oil II.
