A carbon or alloy steel heat treated grinding rod having improved wear resistance and breaking resistance for use in a rotating grinding mill. The surfaces of the rod has a martensitic microstructure having a hardness of at least HRC 55. The core of the rod has a bainitic microstructure having a hardness of at least HRC 40. A preferred rod composition includes at least .7% carbon, at least .25% of molybdenum, at least .25% chromium, less than .7% manganese, the balance iron and unavoidable impurities, all percentages by weight. |
