Wear resistance of 1018 vs. 1024
Wear resistance of 1018 vs. 1024
(OP)
Hi all,
I'm curious about the wear resistance between two similar grades of plain carbon steel. If I have samples of both 1018 and 1024 and they are through hardened to HRC55, would the 1024 steel possess higher wear resistance? My intuition tells me that since the hardness is the same for both samples that the wear resistance should be the same, but I'm also thinking that 1024 will have a greater affinity to form carbides and could provide greater wear resistance via this mechanism. Any thoughts?

Most modern sources discount hardness' effect on erosive wear, and the difficulty of predicting erosive wear generally.
