General theories of abrasive wear are reviewed, and wear is related to abrasive size, shape, hardness and degradation tendency. Treatment of matrix effects includes the roles of matrix microhardness, subsurface deformation and retained austenite on abrasion resistance. Discussion of second phase particle effects includes abrasion in carbon steels, and wear in systems containing fine, medium and coarse carbides. Examples are given in which abrasive wear is a function of microstructure and abrasive properties. 52 refs.
