While coarse pearlitic structure with homogeneous distribution of Mn was obtained in Mn-added specimens, Ni-rich austenitic areas with divorced pearlite structure were observed in Ni-added specimens. Wear tests were carried out at a load of 50 N. The experimental results showed that the highest wear resistance was obtained in the Ni-added specimen. While subsurface brittle cracking caused more wear in the Mn-added specimens, the wear occured by plastic deformation of surface Ni-added specimens.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessiron powderalloying elementssinteringmicrostructuredry sliding wearArticle10.1177/13506501114052552-s2.0-80052799021820J8Q2814225WOS:000294023800012Q3
