The wear resistance of the alloy comes from the composition, rather than hardness. Hardness is normally a good rule of thumb, but is not near perfect for predicting wear resistance. Take MONEL K-500 for example - Not a great wear material, but can develop good hardness.
There are applications where the hardness should be similar to harder than the material mated with for optimum wear resistance, and determining replacement items.
Our book available for download shows various couplings of Nitronic 60 vs itself, as well as many other wear materials against themselves and other dissimilar couplings. Get it here.

An electric furnace with operating limits of 1100F to 2300F has been delivered. Heat treating of parts and short bars will be available in this 48x72 furnace. Like our other heat treating operations, it will be held in compliance with AMS 2750, a common aerospace specification required for critical applications.
Will located nearest to our open die forging operation, to reduce temperature loss from furnace to die. Electric operation allows a more suitable atmosphere for heating reactive metals, such as Titanium and Molybdenum products.

BACKGROUND The President's Budget proposes repeal of the "Last-In First-Out" (LIFO) accounting method beginning in 2012, and requiring companies with LIFO reserves to pay taxes on those reserves within 7 years. We manufacturers need to educate Members of Congress on the negative effects of repeal on manufacturers such as forgers. The common message has been one of "we need the money", i.e., the issue isn't one of whether they agree with the use of LIFO, it is simply one of needing additional revenues to pay for programs (such as healthcare reform), and LIFO repeal represents additional revenues.
