Tribological properties of three different silicate natural mineral powders, i.e., sepiolite, attapulgite and serpentine as lubricating oil additives were investigated in an UMT-3 tribometer. The morphologies and elemental components of the worn surfaces were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The relationship between the structure of silicate as well as its anti-wear and friction reducing mechanism were discussed. The results indicate that all three silicate powders can provide excellent tribological properties as lubricating oil additives. Compared to 500SN, these additives have lower friction coefficients and wear volumes, which are 2.4%-25.5% and 37.4%-56.2%, respectively. The friction films are formed with iron oxide, silicon oxide and graphite when silicate powder additives are used, providing the excellent anti-wear and friction reducing properties. Unlike serpentine, attapulgite and sepiolite have a fibrous structure, and the TOT crystal structure is easier to form the frictional films with more oxides and graphites, leading to the superior tribological performance at a higher load.
