Abstract
A flanged bearing ring () for the wheel of a motor vehicle includes a tubular core () and an outer body () around the core. The core () and the outer body are made of two different materials and joined as a single piece. The outer body forms a radial flange () and is made of a lighter material than that of the core. At both axial ends of the ring, the radially outer surface of the core provides a succession of depressions () and ridges () which extend in a circumferential direction, and cause the formation of complementary recesses and reliefs in the outer body (). This results in a long meander-like path that opposes or at least delays the entrance of contaminant or corrosive agents between the outer body () and the core ().
