Abstract Powder-metallurgical (P/M) high-speed steels can exhibit a high wear resistance due to the presence of carbides adequately distributed within a Fe-based matrix. The P/M route enables various additions to the base material to be made, with the intent of increasing this wear resistance. This work deals with the dry sliding wear behavior of P/M M3/2 high-speed steel, and focusses on the role of the carbides. Two wear regimes can occur, depending on the behavior of the oxides formed in the wear track. Manganese sulfide (MnS) particulate addition is shown to stabilize the lower-wear regime, the duration of which, moreover, can be predicted.
