Abstract

Tribological properties of attapulgite, Ni and their composite nanoparticles suspended in mineral lubricating oil for a steel–steel contact were investigated with an optimal SRV-IV oscillating friction and wear tester. Results demonstrated that the composite nanoparticles exhibit better friction-reduction and anti-wear properties than the single additives. The oil containing a composite powder of 0.5 % attapulgite and 0.1 % Ni owns the best friction-reduction and anti-wear properties. Under the lubrication of oil containing composite nanoparticles, a smooth and compact tribofilm mainly composed of iron oxides, Ni, NiO and silicon oxide was formed on the rubbing surface.
