Description

本発明は、自動変速機油及びその製造方法に関し、特には、低粘度でありながら、基油の粘度が高く、また、高温高せん断粘度が高く、油膜保持性能に優れるため、耐摩耗性、耐ピッチング性等に優れ、せん断安定性も良好で、低温粘度特性にも優れる自動変速機油及びその製造方法に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an automatic transmission oil and a method for producing the same, and in particular, although it has a low viscosity, it has a high base oil viscosity, a high high temperature and high shear viscosity, and an excellent oil film holding performance. The present invention relates to an automatic transmission oil having excellent pitching properties and the like, good shear stability, and excellent low-temperature viscosity characteristics, and a method for producing the same.

近年、炭酸ガス削減を目的とする自動車の省燃費化が急務となっており、変速機用潤滑油についても燃費向上への寄与が求められている。これに関し、変速機等の省燃費化手段の一つとして、潤滑油の低粘度化が挙げられる。例えば、変速機の中でも自動車用自動変速機は、トルクコンバータ、湿式クラッチ、歯車軸受機構、オイルポンプ、油圧制御機構等を有しており、これらに使用される潤滑油をより低粘度化することにより、トルクコンバータ、湿式クラッチ、歯車軸受機構及びオイルポンプ等の撹拌抵抗及び摩擦抵抗が低減されて、動力の伝達効率が向上することで、自動車の燃費の向上が可能となる。しかしながら、潤滑油を低粘度化するために、潤滑油に用いる基油の低粘度化を図ると、油膜厚さが減少し、摩耗やピッチングの発生につながる等の問題が生じる。   In recent years, there has been an urgent need to reduce the fuel consumption of automobiles for the purpose of reducing carbon dioxide, and transmission lubricants are also required to contribute to improving fuel efficiency. In this regard, one of fuel saving means such as a transmission is to reduce the viscosity of the lubricating oil. For example, an automatic transmission for automobiles among transmissions has a torque converter, a wet clutch, a gear bearing mechanism, an oil pump, a hydraulic control mechanism, etc., and lowers the viscosity of the lubricating oil used in these. Thus, the agitation resistance and frictional resistance of the torque converter, the wet clutch, the gear bearing mechanism, the oil pump, and the like are reduced, and the power transmission efficiency is improved, so that the fuel efficiency of the automobile can be improved. However, if the viscosity of the base oil used in the lubricating oil is reduced in order to reduce the viscosity of the lubricating oil, the oil film thickness decreases, causing problems such as the occurrence of wear and pitting.

上記の問題を解決するために、基油及び添加剤に工夫が施されており、疲労寿命が長く、シャダー防止維持性能、低温粘度特性及び酸化安定性に優れた変速機用潤滑油組成物が提案されている(特許文献1参照)。   In order to solve the above problems, a base oil and an additive have been devised, and a lubricating oil composition for a transmission having a long fatigue life, excellent anti-shudder performance, low-temperature viscosity characteristics and oxidation stability is provided. It has been proposed (see Patent Document 1).

以下に、実施例及び比較例を用いて本発明品について詳細に説明する。まず、比較例1に従来の自動変速機油(ATF)の性状を示す。比較例2及び3のように、従来品から単純に粘度指数向上剤の添加量を減らした処方では、せん断安定性に劣る、及び/又はHTHS粘度が低い。しかも基油の粘度が低い為、油膜保持性能に優れない。   Hereinafter, the product of the present invention will be described in detail using Examples and Comparative Examples. First, Comparative Example 1 shows the properties of a conventional automatic transmission fluid (ATF). As in Comparative Examples 2 and 3, a formulation in which the addition amount of the viscosity index improver is simply reduced from the conventional product is inferior in shear stability and / or has a low HTHS viscosity. Moreover, since the viscosity of the base oil is low, the oil film holding performance is not excellent.

また、比較例4のように、100℃における動粘度が4.00〜4.30 mm2/sの基油を用いても、基油の粘度指数が低いとブルックフィールド粘度が上昇し、十分な低温流動性を確保できない。しかしながら、比較例5のように基油が十分な粘度指数を有していても、基油の100℃における動粘度が4.30 mm2/sを超えると、同様にブルックフィールド粘度が上昇して十分な低温流動性を確保できない。 Further, as in Comparative Example 4, even when a base oil having a kinematic viscosity at 100 ° C. of 4.00 to 4.30 mm 2 / s is used, if the viscosity index of the base oil is low, the Brookfield viscosity increases and sufficient low-temperature fluidity is achieved. Cannot be secured. However, even if the base oil has a sufficient viscosity index as in Comparative Example 5, if the kinematic viscosity at 100 ° C. of the base oil exceeds 4.30 mm 2 / s, the Brookfield viscosity will similarly rise and be sufficient. Low temperature fluidity cannot be secured.

一方、比較例6のように、基油に合成油を使用した場合では、鉱油に比べて低温特性に優れる為、基油の100℃における動粘度及び粘度指数を共に高めても、ブルックフィールド粘度は低く、十分な低温流動性を確保できるものの、HTHS粘度を低下させてしまい、高温高せん断条件での油膜保持性能に優れない。   On the other hand, when synthetic oil is used as the base oil as in Comparative Example 6, since the low temperature characteristics are superior to that of mineral oil, even if both the kinematic viscosity and the viscosity index of the base oil at 100 ° C. are increased, the Brookfield viscosity Is low and sufficient low temperature fluidity can be secured, but the HTHS viscosity is lowered, and the oil film holding performance under high temperature and high shear conditions is not excellent.

これら比較例に対して、実施例1及び2として示した本発明品では、製品の粘度を従来のATFより低下させつつも、基油の粘度を上げて油膜保持性能を確保している。更に、せん断安定性、低温流動性も優れた性能を有し、良好なATFとして必要十分な性能を持っている。   In contrast to these comparative examples, in the products of the present invention shown as Examples 1 and 2, the viscosity of the base oil is increased and the oil film holding performance is secured while the product viscosity is lower than that of the conventional ATF. Furthermore, it has excellent performance in terms of shear stability and low-temperature fluidity, and has necessary and sufficient performance as a good ATF.
