STUDY ON THE RELATION BETWEEN COLLOIDAL STRUCTURE AND PERFORMANCE OF SUPER OVERBASED MAGNESIUM ALKYLSALICYLATE Yao wenzhao Fu xingguo Liu yuhua Liu yufeng (Lanzhou Lubricating Oil RD Institute，Petrochina Lubricant company.730060 ) Abstract: The Composition structure and performance of a super-overbased magnesium alkylsalicylate having 400 TBN is introduced in this paper. The micelle stability and structure of the carbonate in the additive were studied by Infrared Absorption methods .The Composition of additive were investigated by XPS. The diameter and distribution of loading-carrying (carbonate-containing) micelle were measured by freeze-etching method and SEM. Four-ball test and Cam-tappet test were used to study the anti-wear performance of the additive. The research results show that micelle structure of the additive has an important influence on performance. The smaller the diameter is and the better the particles distribute ， the better micelle stability and performance the product behaves. The detergency and anti-wear abilities have improved distinctively as well. KEYWORDS: super-overbased magnesium alkylsalicylate magnesium carbonate colloidal Introduction: With the development of engine oils, the lubricating oil detergents are asked for much high performance. In recent years, the rapid development of automobile industry push the designing of engine to miniaturization, strong power and high speed. As a result, it becomes more and more important to modify fuel economy, improve productivity and protect environment. It has been recognized that magnesium alkylsalicylates behave good high temperature detergency,antiwear,dispersancy, anti-oxidation , antirust and good compatibility with other additives. The magnesium alkylsalicylates produce lower ash than the calcium alkylsalicylates with the same TBN do, which benefit to the detergency of engines. In addition, the magnesium salt provides more base reserve than the same quantity calcium sal
