The present invention relates to a water-soluble metalworking oil agent which is used for metalworking including cutting or grinding of metal pieces, to a metalworking liquid, and to a metalworking method using the same.
In metal machining processes such as cutting and grinding, a metalworking oil agent is used for improving machining efficiency, for preventing abrasion between a workpiece and a tool for machining the workpiece, for prolonging tool life, for removing metal chips, and for other purposes. Such metalworking oil agents include an oil-base agent predominantly containing an oil component such as mineral oil, animal and vegetable oil, or synthetic oil, and a water solubility-imparted agent prepared by incorporating a compound having surface activity into an oil component. From the viewpoints of effective utilization of resources and fire prevention, a water-solubility-imparted agent (referred to as “water-soluble metalworking oil agent”) has come to be used more and more in recent years.
For the water-soluble metalworking oil agent (cutting or grinding oil agent), the following performances are demanded.
(a) Machining performance: Under circumstance where an improvement of productivity is demanded, it is considered to be needed to realize more efficient machining. In addition, an oil agent suited for every metal material species is needed.
(b) Rotting resistance: When water and an organic material coexist, rotting deterioration advances, whereby an oil agent performance is lowered.
(c) Emulsion dispersion stability: For the purpose of imparting lubricity, it is need to stably emulsify and disperse a water-insoluble lubrication component in water; however, since water and oil coexist, the metalworking oil agent is in an unstable state. In addition, metals which are eluted from a material to be worked, or the like further make the emulsified and dispersed state unstable.
(d) Stability of undiluted liquid: The form in which the metalworking agent is kept in the production site is an undiluted liquid; however, in many cases, in order to decrease a risk of fire during the storage, water is incorporated. Since water and oil coexist, the metalworking oil agent is in an unstable state. In addition, an undiluted liquid of metalworking oil agent (cutting or grinding oil agent) is often stored outdoors in a state where it is put in a container or the like, and it is exposed to high temperatures in summer and to low temperatures in winter, respectively. Even under such circumstances, it must be stable.
Accordingly, for the purpose of improving machining performance of cutting or grinding or plastic machining, it is proposed to incorporate a linear olefin (α-olefin) having 6 to 40 carbon atoms (see Patent Documents 1 and 2). In addition, for the purpose of providing water-soluble cutting oil which is improved in cutting properties or grinding properties, is low in an offensive smell, is hardly rotted, and is good in defoaming properties, it is proposed to incorporate a salt of ricinoleic acid polycondensate (see Patent Document 3). Furthermore, for the purpose of improving antibacterial properties of a water-soluble cutting oil agent, it is proposed to incorporate an amine having a cyclohexyl group (see Patent Document 4).

Patent Document 2: JP-A 2-281097
Patent Document 3: JP-A 57-159891
Patent Document 4: JP-A 2-242891
However, in Patent Documents 1 and 2, solutions to the above-described problems (b) to (d) on the water-soluble metalworking oil agent are not presented, and there was involved such a problem that in the linear olefin (α-olefin), if its carbon number is long, it is solidified at low temperatures. In addition, in the case where the carbon number is short, there was a concern about an offensive smell or stimulation to the skin.
In addition, in Patent Document 3, though solutions to the problems (a) and (b) are presented, it may not be said that such solutions are sufficient. In this case, there was involved such a problem that solutions to the problems (c) and (d) are not presented. Furthermore, in Patent Document 4, though a solution to the above-described problem (b) is presented, sufficient solutions of other problems were not presented.
Under such circumstances, the present invention has been made, and an object thereof is to provide a water-soluble metalworking oil agent (cutting oil agent or grinding oil agent) which has excellent cutting machining performance or grinding machining performance of aluminum or aluminum alloys, hardly causes rotting deterioration, and has excellent emulsion dispersion stability and stability of undiluted liquid, without containing a machinability-improving agent with a high environmental load, such as chlorine, sulfur, and phosphorus, and a metalworking liquid obtained by diluting the water-soluble metalworking oil agent with water, and also a metalworking method using the same.
In order to attain the above-described object, the present inventors made extensive and intensive investigations. As a result, it has been found that the object can be attained by incorporating, as essential components, specified components (A) to (E) into a water-soluble metalworking oil agent.
The present invention has been accomplished on the basis of such finding.
Specifically, the present invention provides the following.
(A) an α-olefin containing at least an α-olefin having 14 to 16 carbon atoms, in a content of 15 mass or more and 65 mass % or less in an undiluted liquid composition before being diluted with water;
(B) at least one selected from a dehydration-condensed fatty acid of ricinoleic acid and a dehydration-condensed fatty acid between a ricinoleic acid dehydration-condensed fatty acid and a carboxylic acid, in a content of 5 mass % or more and 30 mass % or less in an undiluted liquid composition before being diluted with water;
(C) at least one selected from a monocarboxylic acid and a dicarboxylic acid, each not containing the component (B);
(D) an alkylamine (D1) and an alkanolamine (D2), each meeting the following (1) to (3) and not containing a hydroxyl group,
(E) at least one nonionic surfactant selected from a monohydric alcohol, a polyhydric alcohol, and derivatives thereof;
According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a water-soluble metalworking oil agent (cutting oil agent or grinding oil agent) which has excellent cutting machining performance or grinding machining performance of aluminum or aluminum alloys, hardly causes rotting deterioration, and has excellent emulsion dispersion stability and stability of undiluted liquid, without containing a machinability-improving agent with a high environmental load, such as chlorine, sulfur, and phosphorus, and a metalworking liquid obtained by diluting the water-soluble metalworking oil agent with water, and also a metalworking method using the same.
First of all, the water-soluble metalworking oil agent of the present invention is described. [Water-soluble metalworking oil agent]
The water-soluble metalworking oil agent of the present invention comprises, as essential components, the following components (A) to (E). Incidentally, the water-soluble metalworking oil agent is an undiluted liquid composition before being diluted with water.
<(A) α-Olefin (Base Oil or Agent to be Emulsified (Insoluble in Water)>
As for the α-olefin that is the component (A) in the present invention, its content in the undiluted liquid composition before being diluted with water is 15 mass % or more and 65 mass % or less, preferably 20 mass or more and 60 mass % or less, and more preferably 25 mass % or more and 60 mass % or less. When this content is less than 15 mass %, sufficient machining performance may not be exhibited, whereas when it is more than 65 mass %, a compounding amount of other components is decreased, whereby performances other than the machining performance may be lowered, or emulsion dispersion stability may be impaired.
In addition, the α-olefin in the present invention contains at least an α-olefin having 14 to 16 carbon atoms. When the carbon number of the α-olefin is less than 14, an offensive smell or stimulation to the skin may possibly become strong, whereas when the carbon number is more than 16, emulsion dispersion stability may be lowered, or the undiluted liquid may be solidified at low temperatures.
<(B) Dehydration-Condensed Fatty Acid of Ricinoleic Acid and Dehydration-Condensed Fatty Acid Between Ricinoleic Acid Dehydration-Condensed Fatty Acid and Carboxylic Acid>
As for the component (B) in the present invention, its content in the undiluted liquid composition before being diluted with water is 5 mass % or more and 30 mass % or less, preferably 5 mass % or more and 25 mass % or less, and more preferably 5 mass % or more and 20 mass % or less. When this content is less than 5 mass %, sufficient machining performance may not be exhibited, whereas when it is more than 30 mass %, effects that correspond to the compounding amount may not be obtained, and a compounding amount of other components is decreased, whereby machining performance or rotting resistance may be impaired.
Examples of the dehydration-condensed fatty acid of ricinoleic acid include polycondensed fatty acids of a fatty acid predominantly containing ricinoleic acid (12-hydroxyoctadec-9-enoic acid) which is obtained from castor oil or the like. When the fatty acid predominantly containing ricinoleic acid is, for example, heated at about 200° C. in an inert atmosphere, dehydration polycondensation commences, and the target dehydration-condensed fatty acid is obtained. The fatty acid predominantly containing ricinoleic acid may contain a fatty acid having a different carbon number from ricinoleic acid, as an impurity derived from castor oil that is a raw material, so long as the original target effects are not hindered.
A polycondensation degree of ricinoleic acid is controlled by a reaction time. When the reaction time is long, an acid value and a hydroxyl value are lowered, whereby a fatty acid having a high polycondensation degree is obtained.
In addition, the dehydration-condensed fatty acid between a ricinoleic acid dehydration-condensed fatty acid and a carboxylic acid is obtained by further adding a monovalent carboxylic acid to a dehydration condensation product of ricinoleic acid to undergo dehydration polycondensation. Progress of the reaction is confirmed by a lowering of the hydroxyl value.
The monovalent carboxylic acid which is used in the reaction may be a saturated carboxylic acid or an unsaturated carboxylic acid. However, in the case where a carboxylic acid having a smaller carbon number remains as an unreacted material, there is a concern that an unpleasant smell or metal corrosion is caused. Thus, the monovalent carboxylic acid is preferably a carboxylic acid having 4 or more carbon atoms. Examples of a saturated carboxylic acid include caproic acid, enanthic acid, caprylic acid, 2-ethylhexanoic acid, pelargonic acid, isononanoic acid, capric acid, neodecanoic acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, arachidic acid, behenic acid, lignoceric acid, and the like. Examples of an unsaturated carboxylic acid include undecylenic acid, oleic acid, elaidic acid, erucic acid, nervonic acid, linoleic acid, γ-linolenic acid, arachidonic acid, α-linolenic acid, stearidonic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexanenoic acid, and the like.
