摘要

A method for treating a substrate (such as the gears of a gear set) to provide the substrate with both wear protection and corrosion resistance is disclosed. The method comprises providing the substrate with a wear protection layer and providing corrosion resistant layer. The wear protection layer can be applied to the gear and then the corrosion resistant layer can be applied over the wear resistant layer. Alternatively, the corrosion resistant lay can be provided and then the wear resistant layer can be formed over the corrosion resistant layer.
