  • Patent number: 11940028
    Abstract: A method for forming a friction material. The method includes mixing a fibrous base material and filler particles to form a substrate. The method further includes saturating the substrate with a silane solution including a silane to form a uniformly impregnated silane matrix. The method also includes curing the uniformly impregnated silane matrix to form a cured uniformly impregnated silane matrix. The method also includes saturating the cured uniformly impregnated silane matrix with a phenolic resin solution to form a uniformly impregnated silane, phenolic resin matrix. The method also includes curing the uniformly impregnated silane, phenolic resin matrix to form the friction material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 25, 2019
    Date of Patent: March 26, 2024
    Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co. KG
    Inventors: Murat Bakan, Rashid Farahati, Jung-Feng Hu
  • Patent number: 11473618
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a thrust washer is provided in which a phenolic resin layer is bonded directly to a bearing surface of the base material using two presses at an elevated temperature and pressure.
