Abstract

A method for producing a brake disc (BS) for a vehicle, with a main body (G) of a metal material, in particular gray cast iron, which has friction surfaces (R). The friction surfaces (R) are coated with a coating of tungsten carbide, chromium carbide, and nickel or of tungsten carbide, cobalt and nickel and after-treated by carbonizing, carbonitriding, case hardening, gas nitriding, oxide nitriding, gas nitro carburizing, plasma nitriding, plasma oxidizing, borating, plasma carborating or plasma borating.

Claims (8)

1. A method for producing a brake disc (BS) for a vehicle, the brake disc comprising a main body (G) of a metal material, which comprises friction surfaces (R), the method comprising in the following order:

forming a coating (B) of tungsten carbide, chromium carbide, and nickel or of tungsten carbide, cobalt and nickel on the friction surfaces (R),

covering the parts of the brake disc not to be after-treated with a heat-resistant protection paste, and

after-treating the friction surfaces (R) having coating (B) formed thereon by carbonizing, carbonitriding, case hardening, gas nitriding, oxide nitriding, gas nitro carburizing, plasma nitriding, plasma oxidizing, borating, plasma carborating or plasma borating.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the coating (B) is applied by means of high speed flame spraying, plasma spraying, cold gas spraying or arc wire spraying.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said metal material is gray cast iron.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the metal material of the brake disc main body (G) is gray cast iron.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein coating (B) consists of a hard matrix, which has inclusions.
