<p>Friction disk rings (100) and a method for near net-shape fabrication of the friction disk rings are disclosed. The method includes cutting a friction material into tiled trapeziform strips (112, 114, 116). The strips (112, 114, 116) are then folded into a disk ring structure (236) that can be hot-pressed, stitched, or sewed, to preserve the disk ring structure. The disk rings include multiple layers of a friction material, each layer includes a plurality of triangular shaped panels (345, 346). The triangular shaped panels (345, 346) are symmetric with respect to the radial center of the disk ring. A plurality of keyways (338) are included in at least some of triangular shaped panels (345, 346).</p> |
