Application of materials of adequate hardness and abrasion resistance is important from the point of view of the exploitation of agricultural and heavy-duty machinery, especially the components of those machines that work in the ground. Therefore, the main goal of the studies is to determine the mass loss of 7 and 8 mm thick samples made of Armox 600, Ramor 500 and S355 steel. The study was carried out in abrasives such as quartz sand in a rotating bowl unit, and the distance after which the specimens were examined was 33.3, 66.6 and 100 km. Samples were made in the shape of a chisel. The largest loss of material over a distance of 100 km was recorded for a Ramor 500 steel sample, while the smallest for the Armox 600 steel sample.
