Abstract: Wear is the progressive damage, involving material loss, which occurs on the surface of a component as a result of its motion relative to the adjacent working parts; it is the almost inevitable companion of friction. Most tribological pairs are supplied with a lubricant as much to avoid the excessive wear and damage which would be present if the two surfaces were allowed to rub together in dry condition. The aim of this contribution is to assess the wear mechanisms of hot forging tool steels at various test temperature and also at different load conditions. The tribological tests are performed on a high temperature pin-on-disc tribometer in the laboratory. Experiments are carried out for varying load conditions & different test temperatures ranging 50ºC to 450ºC and wear mechanisms are investigated by this method.
