Abstract
Sub-zero treatments are supplementary process to conventional heat treatment, since it converts the retained austenite into martensite which is remained after heat treatment and due to martensite formation is an increase in wear resistance. In the work presented the results of the experimental researches regarding the wear resistance of steels with the concentration of 0.54 to 0.57%C; 0.75 to 0.78%C and 0.92 to 0.97%C, sintered at a temperature of 1150 oC and 1250oC for 60 min, oil quenched and cooled sub-zero at 173K for 60 min, respectively 120 min..
