Definitions

  • the invention relates to a grease composition that utilizes a urea-based thickener.
  • Grease has been mainly used for slide bearings, rolling bearings, and sliding surfaces where it is difficult to maintain adhesion of a lubricant film due to the movement of the contact surface.
  • urea-based grease that utilizes a urea-based thickener exhibits excellent water resistance, mechanical stability, and heat resistance, and has been widely used for metal-metal sliding parts at a low speed with a high load such as an automotive constant-velocity joint.
  • a grease composition that comprises a base oil, an organomolybdenum compound (e.g., a molybdenum dialkyldithiocarbamate sulfide), a molybdenum disulfide, a zinc dithiophosphate compound, and an aliphatic amide has been proposed as a grease composition used for a constant-velocity joint (see PTL 1 to 3).
  • An object of the invention is to provide a grease composition that exhibits excellent lubricity, in particular excellent wear resistance, and shows only a small extent of deterioration in wear resistance with long-term use at high temperatures.
  • the inventors of the invention conducted extensive studies in order to achieve the above object. As a result, the inventors found that, in comparison with a grease composition that is prepared by merely dispersing and mixing an amide compound powder into grease, a grease composition obtained by heating and melting an amide compound in the presence of a lubricant base oil forms a three-dimensional network structure of the amide holding the lubricant base oil therein to afford the grease composition significantly improved wear resistance and to show only a small extent of deterioration in wear resistance with long-term use under high temperatures.
  • the grease composition according to the invention exhibits excellent water resistance, mechanical stability, and heat resistance, provides excellent wear resistance to metal-metal sliding parts at a low speed with a high load, and shows only a small extent of deterioration in wear resistance with long-term use under high temperatures.
  • the grease composition according to the invention comprises a lubricant base oil, an amide compound, a solid lubricant, and a urea-based thickener.
  • a mineral oil-based lubricant base oil or a synthetic lubricant base oil may be used as the lubricant base oil used in connection with the invention. It is preferable to use a lubricant base oil having a kinematic viscosity of 1 to 1000 mm 2 /s, and more preferably 20 to 300 mm 2 /s at 40°C. If the kinematic viscosity (at 40°C) of the lubricant base oil falls outside the range of 1 to 1000 mm 2 /s, it may be difficult to easily prepare a grease composition having the desired consistency.
  • a lubricant base oil having a density of 0.75 to 0.95 g/cm 3 at 15°C since the dispersibility of the solid lubricant is improved.
  • Examples of the mineral oil-based lubricant base oil include lubricant fractions obtained by distilling crude oil under atmospheric pressure optionally followed by distillation under reduced pressure to obtain a distillate, and refining the distillate using various types of refining process.
  • Examples of the refining process include hydrotreating, solvent extraction, solvent dewaxing, hydrodewaxing, washing with sulfuric acid, clay treatment, and the like.
  • the base oil used in connection with the invention can be obtained by combining these processes in an appropriate order. A mixture of a plurality of refined oils having different properties is also useful, wherein the mixture is obtained by using different types of crude oils or distillates and by a different combination and/or order of processes.
  • the base oil obtained by each method may preferably be used as long as the properties of the base oil are adjusted to fall within the above ranges.
  • the synthetic lubricant base oil is at least one selected from polyolefins such as a poly- ⁇ -olefin, a polybutene, and a copolymer of two or more olefins, polyesters, polyalkylene glycols, alkylbenzenes, alkylnaphthalenes, It is preferable to use a poly- ⁇ -olefin from the viewpoint of availability, cost, viscosity, oxidation stability, and compatibility with a system member.

  • synthetic lubricant base oils may be used either alone or in combination.
  • the synthetic lubricant base oil may be used in combination with the mineral oil-based lubricant base oil.
  • each base oil When using a mixture of a plurality of types of lubricant base oil including a synthetic lubricant base oil, the properties of each base oil are not necessary to fall within the above ranges as long as the base oil mixture satisfies the above properties. Therefore, each synthetic base oil need not necessarily satisfy the above properties, but it is preferable that the properties of each synthetic base oil fall within the above ranges.
  • the content of the lubricant base oil in the grease composition is preferably 50 to 95 mass%, and more preferably 60 to 85 mass%, based on the total amount of the grease composition. If the content of the lubricant base oil is outside the range of 50 to 95 mass%, it may be difficult to easily prepare a grease composition having the desired consistency.

  • the FALEX test was also performed using a flesh grease and a degraded grease that is obtained by leaving the flesh grease at 150°C for 100 hours or 500 hours.
  • the grease composition according to the invention exhibits excellent water resistance, mechanical stability, and heat resistance, provides excellent wear resistance to metal-metal sliding parts at a low speed with a high load, and shows only a small extent of deterioration in wear resistance with long-term use under high temperatures
  • the grease composition can be used to lubricate a joint, a gear, and a bearing, and the like that have metal-metal sliding parts.
