[en] The paper defines the range of overlay welding current, frequencies and induction of a longitudinal magnetic field that enhance the wear resistance of welded layer additing the flux. The conditions of their mutual influence on the process of structure formation are stated as well as the mathematical models linking the overlay welding current, frequency and induction of a longitudinal magnetic field with hardness, wear resistance and phase composition of the welded layer, the use of which will allow to determine the welding modes to provide the necessary properties of the weld metal.
