Abstract
A wet friction assembly includes a part; and at least one first arc shaped wet friction material segment and at least one second arc shaped wet friction material segment to the part to form an annular wet friction material layer on the part. Each first arc shaped wet friction material segment has a first composition including a binder, fibers and filler particles. Each second arc shaped wet friction material segment has a second composition including a binder, fibers and filler particles. The first composition is different from the second composition.
