Provided between the substrate of the sliding element and the DLC layer there is at least one metal-containing intermediate layer, preferably a metal layer, particularly preferable a chromium layer, and at least one further surface of the sliding element, preferably the piston ring flanks, is surface-hardened, preferably has a nitriding layer.
