A combing ring for an opening roller of an open-end spinning arrangement is provided
with at least two surface coatings, one applied on top of the other. Of these two
coatings, the bottom one is a wear-resistant, harder PVD coating, while the upper
one is a less hard, but fiber-friendly coating having a maximum thickness of 5
m, preferably a chemical nickel coating. The bottom PVD coating comprises
in a known way so-called droplets, whereby the thickness of the top coating is
at least equal to the height of the droplets.
