The establishment of prediction model for abrasion properties of vulcanizates, based on their simple physio-mechanical properties, is a hot research field in tribology. The hardness (H), resilience (R), and dynamic fatigue fracture parameters (m) of rubber vulcanizates were combined together in this article, named as hardness-resilience product ((HR)-R-m), and its relationships with the abrasion loss for various vulcanizates [natural rubber (NR), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), butadiene rubber (BR), and their blends] was investigated by using Akron and DIN abrader. The results showed that, for NR/SBR blends with different SBR content, compared with log((HR)-R-4), the abrasion loss had much better linear relationship with log((HR)-R-m) for both Akron and DIN abrasion. This good linear relationship, for both Akron and DIN abrasion, also appeared in the SBR/BR blends with different BR content. Furthermore, for both blending systems (NR/SBR and SBR/BR), when all the data above were put together, the abrasion loss also had good linear relationships with its log((HR)-R-m) no matter for Akron or DIN abrasion, which indicated that this linear relationship had some universality.
