  • Method for the pretreatment of a friction lining
    Patent number: 10823245
    Abstract: A method for the pretreatment of a friction lining, in particular a dry clutch friction lining, comprising carbon compounds, includes modifying an effective surface of the friction lining by laser radiation in such a way that an oxidation layer containing carbon compounds is created. The pretreatment may be effected by means of laser radiation after hardening of the friction lining. The effective surface may be partially conditioned by means of laser radiation.

  • Method for gluing a friction lining, and tool
    Patent number: 9039856
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for gluing a friction lining to a support by means of adhesive that develops its full adhesive effect under the effect of pressure and/or temperature. The invention is characterized in that the friction lining and the support are pressed together along with the adhesive before the adhesive develops its full adhesive effect in order to glue the friction lining to the support.
