<p>A method of obtaining a wear-resistant coating (10) characterized by the steps of: applying a layer (16) of a bonding material to a surface (14) of a substrate (12); applying a layer (18) of a hard material to the layer (16) of bonding material; applying a further layer (22) of the or a bonding material to the layer (18) of hard material, the further layer (22) being easily grindable; and optionally applying further sequential layers of hard material (26) and bonding material (22), wherein the or each layer (22) of bonding material acts to limit stress in the or each layer (18, 26) of hard material.</p> |
