ABSTRACT
This article considers the issue of modernizing oil and gas sector production equipment that is effected by introduction of state-of-the art engineering processes (cold working). One of such processes is magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF). In the process of MAF, total temperature in the working zone amounts to approximately ТMAF = 30 ÷ 40°C; it has a positive impact on products surface quality. This fact was exemplified by cutting instruments used for cutting internal threads.
