In this paper influence of load on change in weight loss (mg), hardness and wear transition of 0.12 wt.% Al-Mn-steel (Steel A), 0.35 wt.% Al-Mn-steel (Steel B) and Mn-steel (Steel C) has been examined. With the increase in load these steels shows remarkable decrease in weight loss due to change in surface microstructure from austenite to ε or ά - martensite which results in increase in hardness of material. With the increase in hardness transition in wear mechanism has been noticed. In future aspect these steel would prove to be better material as wear resistant liner in many industrial application.
