The paper deals with the influence of structural changes on heat transport phenomena of steels samples. Three samples of 10GN2MFA steel were thermally treated at quenching temperatures equal to 900 °C, 1 000 °C and 1 100 °C, and temperature of the tempering was 670 °C. Both thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity increase with the quenching temperature. Specific heat capacity of steel samples after thermal treatment does not change significantly. Further three different high manganese steels were measured. Maximal content of Mn and C was 27 and 0,5 mass percent. From results of thermophysical properties after ageing, one can see the increase of thermal diffusivity up to 20 percent, thermal conductivity up to 15 percent, decrease of specific heat capacity is not significant. All measured values of thermophysical properties are in good agreement with literary data (before ageing).
