Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of Invention
This invention is concerned with the lubricating oil composition used in gas turbine or jet engines. Gas turbine engines are operated under extreme environmental conditions. The lubricant must be fluid at extremely low temperatures and must be an effective lubricant in an engine which produces internal engine temperatures in the range of 450.degree.-500.degree. F. or above. These operating conditions put severe stresses on the lubricating oil, so much so that the most advanced mineral lubricating oil compositions cannot be employed in gas turbine engines.
Currently, synthetic ester base lubricating oil compositions containing a critically balanced blend of additives are being effectively employed for lubricating gas turbine engines. These ester base oils are operative over a wide temperature range and exhibit high thermal stability, anti-wear, load-carrying and anti-oxidation properties while providing good lubrication.
With the advent of newer and more powerful gas turbine engines designed to provide advanced levels of supersonic flight, higher levels of thermal and oxidative stresses are imposed on the lubricating oil. It is also important to reduce or prevent metal staining and corrosion by the oil composition.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The synthetic lubricating oil composition of the invention comprises a major portion of an aliphatic ester base oil having lubricating properties containing a substituted 4-aminotriazole, an alkylphenyl or alkarylphenyl naphthylamine, a dialkyldiphenylamine, and a hydrocarbyl phosphate. More specifically, the lubricating oil composition of the invention comprises a major portion of an aliphatic ester base oil formed from the reaction of a pentaerythritol of trimethylolpropane and an organic monocarboxylic acid having from about 2 to 18 carbon atoms per molecule containing:
a. from about 0.01 to 0.5 weight percent of a substituted 4-aminotriazole represented by the formula: ##STR1## in which R is hydrogen or an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R' is hydrogen, and R" represents an acyl, hydroxy-substituted acyl or carboxy-substituted acyl radical having the formula --0CR" in which R" has from 2 to 18 carbon atoms, or R" is an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical having from 6 to 18 carbon atoms, or in which R and R' jointly represent a hydrocarbylidene radical or a hydroxy-substituted hydrocarbylidene radical having from 8 to 18 carbon atoms or an amine salt of said substituted 4-aminotriazole.
b. from about 0.3 to 5 percent by weight of the lubricating oil composition of alkyl or alkaryl derivatives of phenyl-.alpha.-or-.beta.-naphthylamines in which the alkyl radicals have from 4 to 12 carbon atoms,
c. from about 0.3 to 5 percent of a dialkyldiphenylamine in which the alkyl radicals have from 4 to 12 carbon atoms, and
d. from about 0.25 to 10 percent of a hydrocarbyl phosphate in which said hydrocarbyl radical contains an aryl ring and has from ahout 6 to 18 carbon atoms.
The lubricating oil of the invention provides outstanding thermal and oxidative stability and effectively reduces or prevents metal staining and corrosion. These valuable properties were obtained from a novel critically balanced synthetic ester base lubricating oil blend. The results were surprising and unexpected because they equal or surpass commercial synthetic ester base lubricating oil compositions and were obtained without using a metal-staining additive heretofore considered essential for the production of a commercial synthetic lubricating oil.
The base fluid component of the lubricant of the invention is an ester-base fluid prepared from pentaerythritol or trimethylolpropane and a mixture of hydrocarbyl monocarboxylic acids. Polypentaerythritols can also be employed in the reaction to prepare the base oil.
The hydrocarbon monocarboxylic acids which are used to form the ester-base fluid include the straight-chain and branched-chain aliphatic acids, cycloaliphatic acids and aromatic acids as well as mixtures of these acids. The acids employed have from about 2 to 18 carbon atoms per molecule, and preferably from about 5 to 10 carbon atoms. Examples of suitable specific acids are acetic, propionic, butyric, valeric, isovaleric, caproic, decanoic, hexadecanoic, vinylbenzoic, dodecylbenzoic, pelargonic, decanoic, cyclohexanoic, naphthenic, benzoic acid, phenylacetic, tertiary-butylacetic acid and 2-ethylhexanoic acid.
In general, the acids are reacted in proportions leading to a completely esterified pentaerythritol or trimethylolpropane with the preferred ester bases being the pentaerythritol tetraesters. Examples of such commercially available tetraesters include pentaerythritol tetracaproate, which is prepared from purified pentaerythritol and crude caproic acid containing other C.sub.5-10 monobasic acids. Another suitable tetraester is prepared from a technical grade pentaerythritol and a mixture of acids comprising 38 percent valeric, 13 percent 2-methyl pentanoic, 32 percent octanoic and 17 percent pelargonic acids. Another effective ester is the triester of trimethylolpropane in which the trimethylolpropane is esterified with a monobasic acid mixture consisting of 2 percent valeric, 9 percent caproic, 13 percent heptanoic, 7 percent octanoic, 3 percent caprylic, 65 percent pelargonic and 1 percent capric acids. Trimethylolpropane triheptanoate, trimethylolpropanepentanoate and trimethylolpropanehexanoate are also suitable ester bases.
The ester base comprises the major protion of the fully formulated synthetic ester base lubricating oil composition. In general, this ester base fluid is present in concentration of from about 90 to 98 percent of the composition.
The essential substituted 4-aminotriazole component of the lubricating oil composition of the invention is represented by the formula: ##STR2## in which R is hydrogen or an alkyl radical having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R' is hydrogen and R" represents an acyl, hydroxy-substituted acyl or carboxy-substituted acyl radical having the formula --OCR" in which R" has from 2 to 18 carbon atoms or R" is an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical having from 6 to 18 carbon atoms, or in which R' and R" taken together represent a hydrocarbylidene radical or a hydroxy-substituted hydrocarbylidene radical having from 8 to 18 carbon atoms, or an amine salt of said substituted 4-aminotriazole.
A subgeneric class of substituted 4-aminotriazoles is represented by the formula: ##STR3## in which Y is a divalent hydrocarbylidene or hydroxy-substituted hydrocarbylidene radical having from 8 to 18 carbon atoms. The hydrocarbylidene radical can be an alkylidene, arylidene, or hydroxy-substituted alkylidene or arylidene. The following examples illustrate the preparation of these compounds.

The vacuum was removed and the reactants warmed to 200.degree. C. over 2-3 hr. period. The reactants were cooled, diluted with 30 ml. of ethanol, treated with a filter aid and filtered.

The bath temperature is maintained at 400 and 425.degree. F .+-. 1.degree. F., respectively, instead of at 250.degree. F. and the tests are conducted for periods of 72 hours and 48 hours instead of 168 hours as specified in the original test.
