Abstract:
A water-soluble cutting fluid which is characterized by excellent cooling and lubricating properties and does not exert a harmful influence on the environment. A solution containing hydrogencarbonate ion, bromide ion, carbonic acid ion, and, if necessary, fluoride ion, and being adjusted to a pH of 7.0 to 11.5 can be used as a substitute for a cutting oil. A water-soluble cutting fluid further including additives such as rust-preventive agents and the like can be also used as a substitute for conventional cutting oil.
Abstract:
A lubricant composition comprising a lubricating oil having dispersed therein particles of lithium fluoride, calcium fluoride, and barium fluoride, or mixtures thereof.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a method for reducing low speed pre-ignition events in a spark-ignited direct injection internal combustion engine by supplying to the sump a lubricant composition which contains an oil of lubricating viscosity and an oil soluble metal compound, wherein the metal of the oil soluble metal compound may be a group (IV) metal, which may be titanium or zirconium.
Abstract:
Described herein is a method for extending lubricant life, comprising treating a lubricant with a lubricant additive which comprises a compound selected from the group consisting of urea, ammonium carbonate, ammonium bicarbonate, and ammonium hydroxide to neutralize acids from oil use and/or contamination by combustion condensates. For example, the lubricant of an internal combustion engine can be treated in situ with an aqueous solution of urea, ammonium carbonate, ammonium bicarbonate, and/or ammonium hydroxide. Also provided is a method for extending lubricant life, comprising use of a urea source on a vehicle that is processed and delivered on board to a lubricant to treat reactive species in the lubricant to increase oil drain interval.
Abstract:
The fluid compositions of the present invention include an glycol component that includes a mixture of glycols according the formula: Wherein, typically, at least one of R2, R3, R4 and R5 is an alkyl group. The physical properties of the compositions include a high dry equilibrium reflux boiling point (ERBP), a high wet equilibrium reflux boiling point (WERBP), a low temperature viscosity or any combination thereof. These compositions are particularly useful because their physical properties (e.g., WERBP, ERBP, and low temperature viscosity) meet or exceed the provisions for DOT 3, 4, or 5 brake fluids.
Abstract:
An aqueous lubricating composition comprising at least one divalent metal nitrate; at least one alkali metal hydroxide; at least one ionic surfactant; and at least one lubricant/release agent. Upon application to aluminum and titanium, the lubricating composition forms a dry film lubricant stable to heating to a temperature of 200 to 400° C, preferably 1100° C.
Abstract:
An additive package including an oil-insoluble additive, a method for forming an additive package with an oil-insoluble additive and a lubricant in the form of a dispersion of an oil-insoluble additive in oil is described where an oil-insoluble solvent, e.g. water, can be used to help create the dispersed phase. These packages, methods and lubricants are beneficial in various applications such as internal combustion engines where the oil benefits from functional additives that are not readily soluble in the oil. In many embodiments the oil-insoluble solvent is partially or fully removed before use.
