  • Method for producing a friction element
    Patent number: 9410583
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a friction element (3) comprising the steps: providing a metal main body (10), hardening the main body (10) on at least part of its surface (11, 12) in a salt bath, wherein the salt bath hardening is the final method step, and no further processing of the hardened surface (11, 12) is performed. Furthermore, the invention relates to a friction element produced according to this method and a friction component comprising the latter.

  • Friction lining
    Patent number: 8025134
    Abstract: The invention describes a friction lining (4) comprising a binding agent matrix (5) and friction particles (6), which binding agent matrix (5) forms a coating with a pre-definable coating thickness. A proportion of the friction particles (6) selected from a range with a lower limit of 20% and an upper limit of 100%, by reference to the total quantity of the friction particles (6), has a diameter which is bigger than the coating thickness of the binding agent matrix (5).
