It wears far less.
Also, steel of an earlier era is much better than that available today.
I understand that the builders of the new loco that Rolls Royce are doing
much of the work on, found that the characteristics of samples of original
steel as used in similar engines, could not be matched by todays steels.

Which leads to another question: would a plain cast iron cylinder ( and
for that matter steam chest) suffer relatively little wear because of the
graphite inclusions providing lubrication, or does it wear faster than a
lubricated steel lienr?
