This presentation lists a few sources of open access articles and theses in the field of tribology and gives some examples of articles available online about high-stress abrasion and impact-abrasion of steels and how to assess them through utilizing various wear testing methods.

3. Behavior of Martensitic Wear Resistant
Steels in Abrasion and Impact Wear
Testing Conditions
• Doctoral thesis on the behavior of martensitic wear
resistant steels in abrasive and impact abrasive
conditions
• Several different abrasive wear testing methods were
used for assessing the wear properties in different
abrasive conditions
• In-depth analysis on the factors affecting impeller-
tumbler type wear testing combining impact and
abrasion

4. Effect of abrasive properties on the high-
stress three-body abrasion of steels and
hard metals
• Not all rock types cause similar wear in the component
– how are the rock properties affecting the wear in
steels and WC-Co hardmetals?
• We tested this with four different rock species: granite,
quartzite, tonalite and gneiss, all of which have
different hardness and crushability, and observed the
differences on how they attack the materials in high-
stress abrasive wear

5. Effect of Finish Rolling and Quench Stop
Temperatures on Impact-Abrasive Wear
Resistance of 0.35 % Carbon Direct-Quenched
Steel
• How finish rolling and quench stop temperatures affect
the wear resistance in steel subject to impact and
abrasive wear

6. Compressive crushing of granite with
wear-resistant materials
• Several wear-resistant materials including steels and
WC-Co hardmetals were tested with uniaxial
compressive crusher device

7. High-Stress Abrasion and Impact-Abrasion
Testing of Wear Resistant Steels
• On the testing of heavy abrasive and impact-abrasive wear
in with several different methods utilising natural stone as
abrasive media
• How the choice of method affects the evaluation of the
materials

8. The Role of Edge-Concentrated Wear in
Impact-Abrasion Testing
• On how wear varies across the surfaces between the
edge and inner, planar part of the blocks in
environment, where the material is subjected to
impacting and abrading contact
