1. A brake rotor, comprising
a supporting layer applied to a friction surface of a brake rotor substrate, the supporting layer comprising a preparatory metal; and
a coating applied over the supporting layer, the coating imparting wear and corrosion resistant properties to the friction surface
wherein the friction surface of the brake rotor substrate comprises an activated layer, the activated layer resulting from back-sputtering of the friction surface prior to the supporting layer having been applied.
