Abstract: In a process of manufacturing a substrate provided with a synthetic resin-bonded friction coating, the friction coating, which is joined to the substrate by a primer is formed in that a powder mixture which contains a friction powder and a synthetic resin powder is compacted and is cured at an elevated temperature.To eliminate the need for precompacting the powder mixture before it is applied to the substrate, said powder mixture is applied to the substrate to form a powder layer which can be compacted to the desired thickness of the friction coating. The powder layer which has been applied is then heated for a short time before the powder layer is compacted to the desired thickness of the friction coating.
