Method for producing a braking element, and braking element

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing a braking element and to a braking element. The object of the present invention is to provide a production method for a braking element which is cost-effective, saves material, and is simple. In addition, the object of the invention is to present a braking element that is weight-optimized and has improved wear and corrosion protection. The object is achieved by a method for producing a braking element which consists of a metal main body made of a cast material, having at least one disk-shaped or annular friction surface, wherein the cast metal main body has a base structure, a defective bainitic structure, and a cast skin layer which forms the cast surface, wherein for the metal part, the cast skin layer is at least partly removed at least in the region of the provided friction surface using a first machining process, a wear and/or corrosion protection layer is then arranged at least on the defective bainitic structure, wherein at least the surface of the wear and/or corrosion protection layer can subsequently be modified by a second mechanical machining process.
