METHOD FOR PRODUCING A BRAKING ELEMENT, AND BRAKING ELEMENT

The present invention relates to the field of automotive engineering and industrial plant engineering and relates to a method for producing braking elements as well as to braking elements produced in this way. The problem addressed by the present invention is that of describing a method and a braking element which have improved anti-wear and anti-corrosion properties and a high layer thickness of the friction faces and which can be produced quickly and economically. The problem is solved by a method in which at least one layer of a steel semifinished product (2) having perforations is arranged at least on the surface region, provided as a friction surface, of a metal main body (1), and then the layer is connected in an integrally bonded manner to the metal main body by means of a joining process, then an Al-based alloy is arranged in place, and then the braking element is thermally treated. The braking elements according to the invention can be used for example in vehicles, industrial plants or wind turbines.
