METHOD OF SHAPING A FRICTION FACING FOR FRICTION PLATE ASSEMBLIES

摘要

A method of shaping a friction facing or lining is disclosed. A lining blank is positioned on a core member and a template having the desired groove patterns and periphery is mounted on the blank. Particles are directed against the template and the blank to form the lining grooves and peripheries. The particles also remove hanging fibers. In another embodiment, a template is placed over a friction facing or lining which has grooves formed by other methods. The particles remove any undesired material or hanging fibers from either the grooves or periphery or both.
