The reasons why abrasion resistant steel wears

The alloying elements of abrasion resistant steel are one of the reasons why it is more wear-resistant than other steels. Abrasion resistant steel uses several alloys to improve wear resistance. For example, carbon helps increase the hardness and strength of abrasion resistant steel. Chromium and manganese can help reduce wear.

Heat treatment is another factor in the wear resistance of abrasion resistant steel. Abrasion resistant steel has a high hardness microstructure. This part is achieved by adding appropriate alloying elements. However, this is not enough to ensure proper microstructure formation. Steel must also undergo a process of heating and rapid quenching to form a microstructure. Care must be taken when welding and heating abrasion resistant steel. If abrasion resistant steel are heated to a high enough temperature, they may also have an annealing effect, which will reduce their hardness and thus reduce wear resistance.
