A systematic approach to design against wear for Powder Metallurgy (PM) steel parts: The case of dry rolling-sliding wear

► Dry rolling-sliding wear occurs by triboxidation and surface plastic deformation. ► Fe-Ni austenite influences wear at low load only. ► Wear coefficients are determined for sintered steels and used for the wear model. ► Design guidelines against wear for sintered steels have been proposed.
