Abstract

Procedure to obtain multilayer coatings with high wear resistance, in particular for light alloy metal materials and for metal matrix composite materials, wherein the material to be coated is subjected to the following operations: a) surface deposition, using thermal spray techniques, of a first cermet coating, with thickness ranging from 20 to 600 µm; b) surface finishing treatment; c) deposition on the first coating, using vapour phase deposition techniques, of a second nitride or carbon coating, with thickness ranging from 1 to 10 µm.
