A description is given of a method for producing a wear-resistant roller for crushing of particulate material, such as crude ore for use in the mineral industry, by which method the surface region of the roller (1) is provided with a plurality of recesses (2) into each of which a wear-resistant component (3) is embedded. The method is characterized in that at least some of the material around each recess (2) is plastically deformed after the wear-resistant component (3) is placed in the recess and in that the deformed material changes the shape of the recess (2) and secures the wear-resistant component (3) to the roller (1).
