The influence of heat treatment different options on wear resistance of steels of trademarks Kh12MFL and 150KhNML applied in manufacturing of mud pumps is reviewed. It is shown that the steel Kh12MFL is superior in wear resistance than the steel 150KhNML at abrasion. The martensite-carbide structure of both steels obtained at quenching at normal temperatures, from 900 to 1000 0С, ensures a good hardness (61-64 HRC). The analysis of the residual austenite contents influence on wear resistance was also made. It was determined that residual austenite formed after high temperature quenching (110-1170 0С) was metastable and had a tendency to transform into carbon containing martensite of deformation in the process abrasive wearing. This allowed steels to have a maximum wear resistance because of ensuring a high ability to frictional hardening of the working surface.

Fe-Cr-C-T-Al flux-cored wire surfacing was performed by laser, arc and hybrid methods. Laboratory tests have shown that the deposited layers vary greatly in terms of wear resistance. To identify the reasons, studies were carried out using metallographic, X-ray structural and durometric methods. The analysis of the research results showed that the reason is the difference in the cooling rates of the deposited metal in the range of 1100-800 K. This difference leads to the possibility of the formation of a metastable austenitic structure, which, in turn, affects the wear resistance of the deposited layers.
