Both hardness and wear resistance are determined by the type of material, its microstructure and phase compostion. I.e. the amount of hard phases will determine the hardness level. The way you understand the role of microstrucutres in hardness and wear resistance is not productive. When it comes to wear resistance , the situation becomes more complicate since there is no direct correlation between wear resistance and hardness.For example, hard material may develop the brittle fracture wear mechanism. So please be more specific.
