METHOD FOR PRODUCING A POLYMER COATING
The invention relates to a method for producing a polymer coating (5), which optionally comprises at least one solid lubricant and can be rubbed off, on a surface of teeth (7, 8) of a metal interlocking element (1, 2) for adjusting a tooth flank clearance (4) between the teeth (7, 8) of two meshing interlocking elements (7, 8), according to which the polymer coating (5) that can be rubbed off is applied onto at least one part of a surface of the teeth (7) of at least one interlocking element (7, 8). The surface to be coated is treated in plasma before applying the polymer coating (5) and thereafter the polymer coating (5) is directly applied onto said surface.
