Flexible sheet material and articles made therefrom

摘要

Flexible sheet material suitable for use in the manufacture of wear-resistant laminated articles such as bearings and rotor blades comprises particles of graphite and heat-resistant web-forming fibres, preferably of poly (aromatic amide), bound together with an organic binder, the proportions of the ingredients being: -graphite 20-95% -heat-resistant web-forming fibres 3-78% -organic binder 2-15% - To make wear-resistant articles, sheets of the material are impregnated with resin, superimposed one upon another, and subjected to high pressure and elevated temperature.
