This study explores the effect of heat treatment regimes on the structure and characteristics of a metal deposited by a high-chromium martensitic flux-cored wire type 20Kh15. It has shown that tempering at 800 °C ensures the metal hardness to acceptable values for machining. This happens due to the structural components breakdown and the low values of the matrix and the strengthening phases microhardness. It is established that hardening with a temperature of 1020 °С is functional to increase the hardness of the metal after tempering with subsequent machining. The hardness of such a metal practically coincides with the hardness of the metal after surfacing. It has shown that this is due to the formation of a martensitic-ferritic structure strengthened by precipitates of δ-ferrite, σ-phase and chromium carbides. The proposed heat treatment modes can be used in the wear resistant surfacing technology of parts of chemical and oil-and-gas machine building.
