Abrasive wear is particles or abrasive material with either sliding, erosion or impact wear or a combination of these. Surface fatigue is a specific wear of components with high surface pressure levels, e.g. rails and bearings. 3. What influences wear of steel? The hardness of the steel and of the abrasive have the biggest influence.
