  • Publication number: 20110123767
    Abstract: There is provided a coating for a body of steel or a carbon fiber reinforced plastic material, particularly a roller, with an adhesion-promoting layer of thermoplastic that is deposited on the body, in the surface near material matrix of which solid (powder) particles are embedded in a form-fitting adhering manner such that only a partial region of these particles projects from the adhesion promoting layer, as well as with a functional layer of oxide ceramic or wear-resistant hard metal overlaying the adhesion-promoting layer, in which the partial regions of the particles projecting from the adhesion-promoting layer are embedded. For producing such a coating, the adhesion-promoting layer preferably is heated to a honey-like viscosity, and powder particles are injected, for example by thermal spraying, into the surface near material matrix of the heated adhesion-promoting layer in a form-fitting adhering manner such that only the tips of these particles project.
