Abstract
A coating that resists wear; first, at least one DLC layer with a high degree of hardness is applied to a component and then a gradient layer, whose density decreases in the direction toward the surface, is applied to this DLC layer. By means of the hardness progression that this produces in the gradient layer, the gradient layer functions as a run-in layer in applications with sliding surfaces.
