Abstract
In the current study, abrasive wear resistance of two distinct microstructures, namely pearlite and
martensite with a similar hardness level was studied. A two-body abrasive environment was simulated
in a pin-on-disc tribometer (ASTM G99), by subjecting the metallic surface (i.e. microstructure)
against silicon carbide abrasive particles. Pearlite (multi-phase) revealed better abrasion resistance
than martensite (single-phase) with respect to abrasive wear characteristics. Abrasion induced
microstructural changes were analysed through sub-surface and topographical investigations. To
summarize, the multi-phase microstructure (ferrite and cementite lamellae in pearlitic microstructure)
was more efficient in combating abrasion than the single-phase microstructure (i.e. martensite).
