Definitions

• This invention relates to a lubricant mixture which may be used for lubrication between work piece and mould during the non-cutting shaping of metal work pieces. It is particularly suitable for external lubrication in interior high-pressure forming.
• the work piece is subjected to a force, the result of which is the forming of the metal by flow processes.
• these are forming by pressing, cold extrusion, drawing, deep drawing as well as interior high-pressure forming (“IHP”), internationally referred to in English as “hydroforming”.
• IHP interior high-pressure forming
• friction arises between the surface of the work piece and the mould employed, such moulds including for example, mould cavities, punches, drawing moulds, drawing dies or, in the case of IHP, the hollow mould. It is necessary to reduce this friction by using a suitable lubricant or there may be damage to the mould or work piece, for example, through cold welding.
• the lubricant decreases the force and the expenditure of energy which are required for the forming process.
• IHP for which the lubricant according to the invention is particularly suitable, is a forming process whereby hollow metal parts are formed in a mould by means of a liquid medium (“pressure intensifier”).
• a liquid pressure medium is used in order to build up an internal pressure in a hollow-body work piece.
• the pressure may be in the range of about 800 to about 10,000 bar.
• other mechanical forces which bring about additional flow of work piece material into the shaping zone may be used. These additional forces may act in an axial or radial direction and are of the order of about 800 to about 3000 bar.
• IHP is conventionally carried out in the following steps (see D. Brans cited herein supra): 1) the work piece is placed in the mould; 2) the hydraulic cylinder is connected; 3) the interior of the work piece is filled with the pressure medium and then de-aerated; 4) the required internal forming pressure is built up by a pressure intensifier; 5) the internal pressure is increased to “calibration pressure” (for example, up to 8000 bar) when the work piece dimensions approach that of its desired final contours, 6) the work piece fills the cavity of the mould; and subsequently 6) the pressure is decreased and the pressure medium is discharged.
• Disadvantages of these prior art products may include: limitations with regard to their application, requirement for cost-intensive conversion treatment, performance deterioration, contamination of the end product, difficulty of removal at the end of the forming process, particulate-caused blockage of the very fine pressure intensifier filters, and cost-in-use.
• Suitable pressure media include hydraulic oils (use is limited, owing to their compressibility to pressures of below about 1500 bar) and aqueous media based on water-miscible products containing mineral oils or on synthetic solutions, which are also known in the field of cooling lubricants.
• the pressure medium and external lubricant remain separate throughout the forming process.
• the external lubricant may be introduced into the pressure medium, or the external lubricant may become contaminated by the pressure medium. Either of these may cause inadequate lubricating action. Should these or similar events occur, it is desirable that the two media have the capability to rapidly and independently separate from one another. This property allows the possibility for the independent reuse of pressure medium or external lubricant and thereby may reduce production costs.
• the present invention is generally directed to lubricant mixtures and methods of their use.
• the present invention relates in part to a method for lubricating between a mould and a work piece to be formed under high pressure in the mould, comprising contacting the mould and the work piece with a lubricant mixture comprising from about 40% to about 99.6% by weight of the mixture of at least one oil which is liquid at room temperature; and from about 0.4% to about 10% by weight of the mixture of at least one wax.

• a mixture of waxes may be used.
• montan wax may be used as a wax mixture with polyethylene wax.
• lubricant additive refers to a high-performance lubricant additive (so-called “EP additives”, after the English term “extreme-pressure additive”), which includes, for example, sulfur- or phosphorus-containing EP additives.
• EP additives include sulfur-containing fatty acid esters, dialkyl trisulfides, dialkyl pentasulfides, for example “di-tert.-dodecyl polysulfide”, which appears to be mainly the trisulfide, and neutralised phosphoric esters.
• fatty acid ester refers to an ester derivative of a long chain fatty acid, the fatty acid portion of the ester having from about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms.
• the fatty acid has from about 12 to about 18 carbon atoms.
• the fatty acid esters are derived from vegetable or animal sources, esterified with monohydric or polyhydric, preferably polyhydric alcohols having 2 to 6 carbon atoms.
• the polyhydric alcohol component of the ester is glycerol, trimethylolpropane or pentaerythritol, wherein at least one of the alcohol's hydroxy groups is esterified with fatty acid.
• Non-limiting examples include trimethylolpropane trioleate, glycerol tricaprylate and dipentaerythritol fatty acid ester.
• emulsifier refers to a compound having surfactant properties such as, for example, soaps, alkyl sulfates or alkyl sulfonates or alkoxylation products of alcohols, amines and carboxylic acids [alkyl-C( ⁇ O)-OH] having 7 or more carbon atoms in the alkyl group.
• reduced levels of emulsifiers facilitate the separation of co-mingled pressure medium and lubricant mixture of the invention.
• the emulsifier comprises up to about 1% by weight of the lubricant mixture. More preferably the emulsifier comprises up to about 0.5% by weight of the mixture. Even more preferably, the emulsifier comprises up to about 0.1% by weight of the lubricant mixture.

• the high-pressure forming of said work piece is effected using a liquid pressure medium. More preferably, the liquid is water-based. More preferably still, upon completion of the high-pressure forming process of the work piece, a phase separation between the lubricant mixture and the pressure medium occurs. Even more preferably, upon completion of the high-pressure forming process of the work piece, at least part of the lubricant mixture is removed from the work piece or the mould with a water-based cleaning medium.
• the invention relates to a method for lubricating between a mould and a work piece to be formed under high pressure in the mould, comprising contacting the mould and the work piece with a lubricant mixture comprising from about 40% to about 84.6% by weight of the mixture of at least one oil which is liquid at room temperature; from about 0.4% to about 10% by weight of the mixture of at least one wax, and from about 1% to about 25% by weight of the mixture of at least one fatty acid ester, lubricant additive, or mixture thereof.

• the oil-wax mixture is readily removed from the surfaces covered with them by means of conventional aqueous cleaning agents.
• the use of the lubricant mixtures herein reduce the risk of clogging the very fine filters associated with the pressure intensifiers.

• the viscosity at 20° C. measured in accordance with DIN 53211, may be in the range of 10 to 5000 mM 2 /second, in particular 20 to 2000 mm 2 /second. In this connection, viscosities in the range of 10 to 200 mm 2 /second are preferred for spray applications.
• the lubricant mixture is used preferably for lubrication between work piece and mould during the non-cutting shaping of metal work pieces.

The resulting frictional force Fr is measured as a function of the motion; it correlates linearly with the coefficient of friction.
• Table 2a and Table 2b show the coefficient of friction, measured at half the length of the path.
• a dilute solution of a pressure-side lube was sprayed onto the wax-containing die-side lubes, in order to simulate conditions in practice.
