Abstract:  
ABSTRACT Abrasive wear is a micro fatigue phenomena and it occurs in soil engaging tools. From cost consideration, these tools are made of cheaper steels (Carbon steels) (1) & (2). To enhance wear resistance and tool life of such carbon steels we have studied the effect of shot peening, coating, and coating with post shot peening. Shot peening after coating has shown considerable improvement on abrasive wear resistance.
