  • Patent number: 4664823
    Abstract: A metal-working oil composition comprises as essential components thereof (a) one or more lube-oil components selected from the group consisting of oils, fats, mineral oils and fatty acid esters; and (b) one or more water-soluble polymer compounds selected from the group consisting of homopolymers of acrylic amide, copolymers of acrylic amide and other monomers and salts of the homopolymers and copolymers, the molecular weights of which homopolymers, copolymers and salts fall within the range of from 1,000 to 10,000,000.The incorporation of the specific water-soluble compound allows a lube-oil component to disperse stably as large droplets in water and hence, several advantages including thick and strong lubricating film suitable for use under severe machining conditions can be obtained.

  • Patent number: 4663061
    Abstract: A metal-working oil composition containing the following three components (A), (B) and (C) as its essential components:(A) one or more lube-oil components selected from the group consisting of oils, fats, mineral oils and fatty acid esters;(B) a cationic or amphoteric water-soluble polymer compound having a molecular weight of 1,000 to 10,000,000, containing nitrogen atoms in its molecule; and(C) a surfactant.A metal-working oil composition according to the invention can further and optionally comprise an extreme-pressure additive, which can enhance the lubrication performance. When the metal-working oil composition is brought into contact with a metallic workpiece, oil droplets having a uniform diameter form a thick and strong lubricating film over the workpiece, thus the composition can be successfully employed for processing metals under high shear, high-speed and high-pressure conditions.

  • Patent number: 4637885
    Abstract: A metal-working oil composition comprises as essential components thereof (a) one or more lube-oil components selected from the group consisting of oils, fats, mineral oils and fatty acid esters; and (b) one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of acidic phosphoric acid salts of aliphatic, alicyclic and aromatic amines each of which has 4 to 22 carbon atoms and quaternary ammonium salts formed from aliphatic or aromatic amines, each of which has 4 to 22 carbon atoms, and acidic phosphoric acids; and (c) a non-ionic surfactant.Incorporation of a specific amine compound together with a non-ionic surfactant permits, owing to the protective colloidal function of the compounds, stable dispersion of the lube-oil component as large droplets in water and hence the resulting dispersion enjoys good circulation stability and withstands severe machining conditions.
