dc.description.abstractA hypoeutectoid steel has been heat treated to produce a range of different hardnesses and microstructures. A simulative field test rig has been employed to determine the relationship between microstructural parameters, material properties and soil constitution. Attempts have been made to correlate the ranking order for the wear resistance of similar treated steels in field and laboratory tests. It has been established that wear resistance is a function of soil constitution, steel carbide morphology and hardness. Explanations have been advanced for the differences in the wear resistance of similar steels in different soils based on the mechanism of material removal. Recommendations have been made regarding the selection of steel microstructure for varying soil conditions.en_ZA
