Abstract
One exemplary aspect of the present disclosure relates to a method of forming a friction material. The method includes depositing a plurality of particles on a substrate such that the particles provide a plurality of projections and channels between adjacent projections. This disclosure also relates to the friction material itself, and a system including a mechanical component and the friction material.
Claims18
A method of forming a friction material, comprising:
- depositing a plurality of first particles on a substrate such that the particles provide a plurality of projections and channels between adjacent projections;
- and
- depositing a plurality of second particles into the channels.
A friction material, comprising:
- a plurality of particles of a first material providing alternating first and second sections;
- a plurality of particles of a second material having different mechanical properties than the first material;
- a working surface provided by a plurality of particles of the first material and a plurality of particles of the second material, wherein the plurality of particles of the second material are provided in one of the second sections.
A system, comprising:
- a mechanical component;
- a friction material connected to the mechanical component, the friction material comprising:
- a plurality of particles of a first material providing alternating first and second sections;
- a plurality of particles of a second material having different mechanical properties than the first material;
- and
- a working surface provided by a plurality of particles of the first material and a plurality of particles of the second material, wherein the plurality of particles of the second material are provided in one of the second sections.
