This article deals with mechanical structuring by means of wire electrical discharge machining in order to produce undercut structures which are intended to raise the adhesive strength of a copper coating on a steel substrate. The investigations were conducted on steel specimens which were coated with a copperbased alloy in a conventional arc wire spraying (AWS) process. The processes generated on the test specimens are subsequently to be transferred to connecting rods, with the objective of replacing the half-shells of the sliding bearings in the connecting rod big end with a thermally sprayed bearing coating.
