Abstract: To make a friction ring which is intended to be used in clutches or brakes and has a sinter-bonded friction facing, an annular blank is blanked from flat sheet metal and is provided with a sinter-bonded friction facing. Thereafter the blank provided with the sintered friction facing is shaped to form a conical or cylindrical friction ring and grooves distributed around the periphery of the friction facing are embossed into the friction facing at the same time. In order to ensure that that shaping operation will result in an adequate dimensional accuracy, the operation to emboss the grooves into the friction facing is carried out in such a manner that the backing ring is similarly embossed.

Abstract: In order to enable a friction ring comprising a supporting ring and a sintered friction lining to be produced without sintering the friction lining to an intermediate carrier, one initially forms a self-supporting moulded ring (7) from a compacted dry powder material (1), by pre-sintering or bonding using a bonding agent, whereafter the moulded ring is pressed into the supporting ring and the friction lining is produced by final sintering.
