Abstract
A method for depositing a metal matrix composite plating on a support part, including the following steps: immersing the support part to be plated in an electrolytic bath containing the metal to be deposited (50), then depositing the metal in layers on the support part to be plated by electrodeposition (60), wherein, prior to immersing the support part to be plated in the electrolytic bath, a two-dimensional material is incorporated and dispersed in the electrolytic bath (30) in a given amount so as to distribute the two-dimensional material homogeneously throughout the thickness of the metal matrix formed by the layered metal.

A method for depositing a metal matrix composite plating on a support part, comprising the following steps:
- immersing the support part to be plated in an electrolytic bath containing the metal to be deposited (50), then depositing the metal in layers on the support part to be plated by electrodeposition (60), wherein, prior to immersing the support part to be plated in the electrolytic bath, a two-dimensional material is incorporated and dispersed in the electrolytic bath (30) in a given amount so as to distribute the two-dimensional material homogeneously throughout the thickness of the metal matrix formed by the layered metal.
A horology part designed to come into frictional contact with a contact surface in another horology part, further comprising a plating formed from a composite comprising a metal matrix to which a two-dimensional material has been added.
