Production of a composite layer used, e.g., as an anti-wear layer comprises applying particles in the form of a layer on the substrate.

Abstract
DE 10114306 A UPAB: 20021118 NOVELTY - Production of a composite layer of a matrix containing particles on a substrate comprises: applying the particles in the form of a layer on the substrate; covering with a layer made from a matrix-forming material; and forming the composite layer by subjecting the layer system formed to an energy. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Preferred Features: The particles are produced using hollow cathode gas sputtering. The particles are hard particles made from metal oxides, carbides, nitrides, especially aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, silicon dioxide, silicon carbide, titanium carbide, chromium carbide, titanium nitride, aluminum nitride, chromium nitride, zirconium nitride or boron nitride. The matrix is made from a polymer or a metal selected from Al, Pb, Ga, In, Li and Ag. USE - Used as an anti-wear layer, corrosion protection layer, heat insulating layer, optical and electrical functional layer and anti-adhesion layer (claimed). ADVANTAGE - The composite layer is easy to produce.
