Abstract
A brief survey on different aspects of wear has been attempted. Only some factors affecting wear have been dealt with. Wear rate decreases with increase in hardness. Composites show a better wear resistance than single-phase alloys. The higher the fracture toughness better is the wear resistance. The higher the work hardenability greater is the wear resistance. Increase in fatigue life reduces wear loss. Metastable structures possess good wear resistance. Conflicting results exist for the effect of stacking fault energy on wear resistance of the materials. Wear resistance can be improved by various surface treatment techniques as ion implantation, electroplating, chemical vapour deposition and physical vapour deposition.
