The use of anti-friction materials in moving units reduces the likelihood of component wear, increases reliability, service life of parts and mechanisms as a whole. The paper considered the effectiveness of molybdenum coating in the design of oil and gas fittings, namely, an axisymmetric check valve and a control valve. Tests for strength, thickness, microhardness of the coating in the rack and pinion mechanism of oil and gas fittings were carried out.
