The present work has the objective to quantify and evaluate abrasive wear resistance of a hard coating. It is obtained by weld deposition of an iron based alloy containing Cr and Nb as carbide forming elements, and to compare it to wear resistance of a heat treated SAE 5160 steel, normally used for agricultural equipment. Wear resistance was determined from two body and a three body abrasion tests using pin abrasion test equipment and a rubber wheel abrasion test, respectively.
