Based on the results plotted in the tables and figures above, the following statements can be summarized: Microhardness of the surface layer (-2.0 to -1.8 mm from the interface) of the Metco 51NS in a combination with S960 was measured in the range of 174 – 190 HV 0.5. The declared hardness of pure aluminum bronze is 158 HV 0.5. However, the actual hardness could be partially influenced by the method of applying the cladded layer and the subsequent machining of the samples. This phase is followed by a gradual moderate increase in the microhardness of the softer surface layer near the bi-material interface. The microhardness of this layer changes due to the mixing of a molten substrate material with the cladded layer material. In the immediate vicinity of the interface (approx. -0.2 mm) the course of microhardness is affected by a significant transition zone. This is followed by an area (between 0.2 - 1 mm from the interface), in which the course of the microhardness is affected by the HAZ. At a distance of 1.2 mm and further from the interface, the base material of the substrate is gradually stabilized close to nominal values. The measured surface hardness of the Rockit 401 in combination with S960 rather corresponds to the declared one, although there is also an evident influence of the used technology (the area between -1.8 to -1.5). This is followed by a gradual reduction of microhardness due to the mixing of molten materials. The microhardness is strongly affected
