Tribology is the science of surface interaction among different material bodies in relative motion with each other. As there are many types of failure linked with the steel components, wear presents unique challenge to the developer of product. Wear is intricate process as it is a system property and not material property. Steel might wear out in different modes such as abrasion adhesion erosion, surface Fatigue and corrosion. Out of these modes adhesive and abrasive wear are commonly detected in steel component. With large number of variables like load, sliding speed, hardness, composition etc.(1)

In this work the pin material used for experimentation is Medium-Carbon steel. It has more carbon and is stronger than low carbon steel. It contains 0.3 to 0.6% carbon. Medium carbon steel is used for bolts, shafts, car axels, rails and other parts or tools that require strong metal. There are different wear cases associated with bolts, car axels, forgings, and casting components. This wear are generally of adhesion type here an attempt is made to analyse the wear characteristic of carbon steel casting under dry sliding wear.
