  • Patent number: 7932219
    Abstract: The present invention provides a grease composition which prevents frictional wear of a lubricating surface in a high load-applied state or in a state in which sliding motion is generated and is durable for a long time, a method of manufacturing capable of easily determining an addition ratio of an extreme-pressure agent of the grease composition, and a rolling bearing in which the grease composition is enclosed. A grease composition is composed by adding a thickener and an extreme-pressure agent containing sulfur in a molecular structure thereof to base oil. The extreme-pressure agent is added to the base oil so that a product of an amount (mgS/g) of active sulfur contained in the extreme-pressure agent and an addition amount (wt %) of the extreme-pressure agent with respect to an entire amount of the grease composition is in a range of 3 to 13.

  • Patent number: 6958409
    Abstract: A process for the manufacture of a low sediment overbased metal dithiophosphate composition is disclosed. The process uses delayed addition of a C1 to C5 mono-carboxylic acid promoter during the neutralization of a primary dialkyl dithiophosphoric acid. The process results in reducing crude sediment whereby the resulting overbased metal dithiophosphate may need not undergo additional filtration steps prior to its intended use.

  • Patent number: 6858568
    Abstract: Lubricants are taught that can quickly and easily form a lubricating layer on a metal surface of a metal before plastic processing. Such lubricants preferably include a primary lubricating agent or component having a bridge complex that satisfies the following conditions: (1) the complex contains at least two central metal atoms; (2) at least one first multidentate ligand forms a bridge between two central metal atoms; and (3) at least one second multidentate ligand is bound to at least one central metal atom and has at least one coordinating atom that can coordinate with metal atoms, but which is not coordinated with any of the central metal atoms or is only partially coordinated with at least one of those central metal atoms. A third multidentate ligand is preferably also bound to one of the central metal atoms and may preferably include at least two sulfur atoms that are coordinated to the central metal atom.

  • Patent number: 6852678
    Abstract: An aqueous lubricant is provided which by simple application onto metal surfaces forms lubricating films required for heavy working of metals, and which contains no oil. The aqueous lubricant is prepared by suspending or dispersing a metal chelate compound in water with a surfactant or the like. The metal chelate compound has a polydentate or multidentate chelate ligand, in which at least one of the coordinating atoms is sulfur, coordinated to the coordination site of at least one metal species selected from among zinc, manganese, iron, molybdenum, tin and antimony. When applied onto metal surfaces, the aqueous lubricant forms effective lubricating films on the metal surfaces. The lubricating films contain sulfur as coordinating atoms and therefore, extreme pressure produces sulfur radicals through decomposition by tribo-chemical reactions. The sulfur radicals are highly reactive and react rapidly with the metal surface to produce metal sulfides with a lubricating effect.

  • Publication number: 20040254081
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for delivering manganese from a lubricant source into a fuel combustion system or to the exhaust therefrom. By the present invention, manganese from the lubricant will interact with phosphorus, sulfur, and/or lead from the combustion products. In this manner, the manganese scavenges or inactivates harmful materials which have migrated into the fuel or combustion products, and which can otherwise poison catalytic converters, sensors and/or automotive on-board diagnostic devices. The present invention can also lead to improved durability of exhaust after treatment systems.
