Abstract
A composite coating (1) resistant to wear is applied onto a substrate (2) and contains a mixture of hard material particles (3) and particles (5) of a solid lubricant (6). The particles (3, 5) are incorporated in a binder alloy (4). The lubricant particles are each enclosed by a protective envelope (7). The protective envelope substantially prevents bonding between components of the lubricant (6) on the one hand and components of the binder alloy (4) as well as of the hard material particles (3) on the other hand.
