  • Lubricating oils for internal combustion engines contain one or more additives in addition to at least one base lubricating oil.
  • Lubricating oils are used to perform the critical function of lubricating moving parts in the internal combustion engine. Lubricating oils perform this function by maintaining a sufficiently high lubricating film thickness on metal surfaces in order to maintain low friction and reduce wear of the metal parts. Reduction in friction ultimately results in improved fuel economy and enhanced mechanical efficiency.
  • Reduction in friction can be accomplished by reducing the viscosity of the lubricating oil. While this approach works well at higher contact speeds, it may increase wear at lower contact speeds if a sufficiently thick lubricating oil cannot be maintained.
  • Conventional lubricating oils rely on friction reducing agents, such as surface active friction modifiers, for protecting the metal surfaces at these lower contact speeds.
  • the present invention describes the use of a new type of base lubricating oil with properties that allow a reduction of friction at high contact speeds without sacrificing the ability to maintain a lubricating oil film at lower contact speeds. Even more surprising was the observation that the lubricating oils of the present invention allowed for a reduction in friction at very low contact speeds without the addition of any surface active friction modifier.

  • Test Formulation C The ability to reduce the coefficient of traction of Test Formulation C was compared to Comparative Formulations A and B was evaluated as described below.
  • Comparative Formulations A and B were compared with Test Formulation C in a series of Ball-on-Disk Rheometer experiments. As noted in Table II above, the three Formulations differ only in the selection of the base oils used to make the formulations. The rheometry experiments were designed to measure the traction coefficient under a variety of different conditions. The main variables were:
  • the SRR number represents the speed difference as a percentage of the average speed of the two surfaces, where both the disk speed and the ball speed are controlled individually.
  • both surfaces are moving in the same direction but not at the same speed, thus creating a mixture of a sliding and a rolling motion.
  • the relative motion in the contact moves from rolling to sliding.
  • the traction coefficient was measured as a function of the average contact speed, which was increased from just under 10 millimeters per second to well over 1000 millimeters per second.
  • the first curve, X in Figure 1 represents the reduction in friction between two surfaces that are in contact with increasing contact speed and the consequent build-up of an oil film.
  • the second curve, Y in Figure 1 represents the increase in the traction coefficient due to frictional loss in the lubricant film itself when the film thickness increases with increasing contact speed.
  • a comparison of measured points on the Stribeck curves in Figure 1 shows differences between Comparative Formulations A and B and Test Formulation C.
  • Figures 2 , 3 , and 4 show the traction coefficients measured at 100°C, in a configuration with a 19.05 mm diameter steel ball on a flat steel disk, both made of AISI-SAE 52100 steel with Young's Modulus of 207 GPa and Poisson Ratio 0.293, at an applied load of 10 Newton creating an average contact pressure of 433 Mpa and a maximum contact pressure of 649 MPa, for three different contact speeds and SRR of respectively 25, 50, and 75. While the traction coefficients for Comparative Formulation A containing Group II base oil and Comparative Formulation B containing Group III base oil are similar, the traction coefficients for Test Formulation C containing Fischer-Tropsch derived base oil are consistently lower, regardless of the contact speed.
  • Figure 5 shows the traction coefficient as a function of average contact speed for the point where the traction coefficient reaches its minimum.
  • Data points are shown for Comparative Formulations A and B and Test Formulation C containing Group II, Group III and Fischer-Tropsch derived base oil, respectively, for SRR 50 and 75.
  • the graph clearly shows that the use of Fischer-Tropsch derived base oil in Test formulation C allows for both a reduction in the traction coefficient as well as a reduction of the speed where the contact transitions from hydrodynamic to boundary lubrication.
  • the surprising result observed in the data will have a very practical application in the development of new low friction engine oils.
