The effect of Ni concentration on the microstructure and wear performance of 13Cr-(0.5-7.0)Ni-W-Mo-Mn-2C white cast iron subjected to homogenization heat treatment was examined. Concentration of Ni was altered in the range 0.5-7.0 wt.% to obtain a stable microstructure against for dry sliding wear resistance as long sliding distance. The effect of Ni on the microstructure was analysed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, elemental mapping and hardness. The wear performances were tested under the loads of 40, 90 and 140 N. Differential thermal analysis of samples with dissimilar Ni values was performed. The increase of Ni concentration decreased the secondary arm spacing of dendrites, refined the dendritic structure and raised the eutectic carbide ratio. The greatest wear performance was obtained for the sample having Ni over 6 wt.%.
