Abstract
A method for a defined surface treatment of a first carbon coating applied to a surface of a component The first carbon coating is brought into touching contact with at least one second carbon coating that is formed on a surface of a tool or second component and the two carbon coatings are moved relatively with one another so that the first carbon coating is smoothed by the second carbon coating. The first carbon coating and/or the second carbon coating are formed from a-C (amorphous carbon) or ta-C (tetrahedrally bonded amorphous carbon).
