The paper presents a new method of obtaining aluminium-oxide-based, duplex-type layers. In the first stage, the base layer is produced via the hard anodising of aluminium alloys in order to obtain the optimal structural and morphological properties. Following anodising, the samples with an Al2O3 layer are rinsed in distilled water in order to remove the electrolyte. Graphite was introduced into the structure of aluminium oxide during a thermal treatment in a solid medium consisting of graphite dust. Afterwards, the properties of the obtained layers were determined using a scanning electron microscope, a transmission electron microscope and an atomic force microscope (AFM), as well as X-ray diffraction. The structure of the duplex-type layers contains carbon and other precipitates, which are typical for an alloy with additions of Fe, Mn, Cr and other elements. Carbon precipitates have a relatively weak connection with the matrix, as an envelope with numerous discontinuities forms around each carbon precipitate. Carbon precipitates are considerably larger than alloy precipitates, have micrometre dimensions, occur in groups and are composed of small grouped nanometric particles that form larger agglomerates. This means that there are nanometric particles inside the micrometric ones.
