A method for producing a metal component coated by a hard-material coating, said method comprising:
- preparing an anti-caking agent;
- adding the prepared anti-caking agent to a powder mixture;
- providing the powder mixture;
- providing a substrate made of metal;
- heating the powder and the substrate in a heating device;
- depositing onto the substrate a coating having a hardness which is higher than a hardness of the substrate;
- and
- cooling the substrate.
A metal component, comprising:
- a substrate made of steel;
- and
- a hard-material coating made of a metal carbide and/or a metal nitride or mixtures thereof, said hard-material coating having particles of an anti-caking agent, wherein in a micrograph of the hard-material coating, a surface content of the particles of the anti-caking agent in the hard-material coating is less than 15%, preferably less than 10% and particularly preferably less than 5%.
