In this study, failure analysis of rocker liners used for charging system of blast furnace was carried out. The failed rocker liner samples shows non-uniform distribution of carbides, resulted in variation of hardness as well as wear properties. In the case of failed sample, the reason for the poor wear resistance of the component was due to the non-uniform carbide in pearlitic matrix.
