A method for producing a brake disk for a wheel brake of a land vehicle includes laser depositing a duplex steel anti-corrosion layer to an axial friction side of a main body produced from gray cast iron at a surface speed of more than 10 m/min and applying an anti-abrasion layer to the anti-corrosion layer.

Expanded graphite and/or vermiculite are introduced into the friction lining mixture to eliminate or substantially reduce the amount of binder present therein. The friction lining at most contains from 2.5% by weight of binder. By omitting/reducing binder, the production is very stable and the friction linings can be easily reproduced. The process steps of hardening (including the hardening furnace) and scorching (including the necessary equipment) can be omitted when making such friction linings.

A method for producing a multi-layered wet friction material includes providing a bottom layer, providing a top layer produced independently of the bottom layer from different materials, and bonding the bottom layer to the top layer. The bottom layer and the top layer may be produced from different formulations and supplied as raw papers. A formulation of the top layer may include twenty to sixty percent (20%-60%) filler, ten to forty percent (10%-40%) wood pulp, five to ten percent (5%-10%) aramid, and twenty-five to thirty-five percent (25%-35%) phenolic resin. A formulation of the bottom layer may include ten to fifty percent (10%-50%) filler, ten to forty percent (10%-40%) wood pulp, five to ten percent (5%-10%) aramid, five to fifteen percent (5%-15%) carbon, and twenty-five to thirty-five percent (25%-35%) phenolic resin.

An NBR composition for rubber laminated metal having 1 to 3 parts by weight of sulfur and 1 to 15 parts by weight of a disulfide compound such as 4,4′-dithiodimorpholine or dithiodicaprolactam represented by the general formula RN—S—S—NR (wherein RN is a cyclic linking group formed together with the N atom bonded to the S atom), based on 100 parts by weight of NBR. The rubber composition that can improve the protrusion properties of a rubber layer when used for, for example, a gasket or a brake shim material that is a laminated composite metal laminated with another metal plate.

A method of making a wet friction material includes coating a first outer surface of a cellulose layer with a friction coating; placing a matrix of fibers and filler particles on a second outer surface of the cellulose layer; and saturating the matrix of fibers and filler particles with a binder and curing the binder to join the matrix of fibers and filler particles together to form a wet friction material base layer and to join wet friction material base layer to the second outer surface of the cellulose layer.

In a method for producing a brake disc, a friction surface layer is sprayed onto the base body or onto an intermediate layer applied on the base body by cold gas spraying a particle mixture which consists 25 to 75% by weight of a metal matrix material and 75 to 25% by weight of a carbide material. The metal matrix material consists of an iron-based alloy, nickel-based alloy, titanium or titanium alloy. The carbide material consists of tungsten carbide, titanium carbide, iron carbide, silicon carbide, chromium carbide or niobium carbide.

The disclosure relates to a frictional brake element for a friction brake of a motor vehicle, in particular brake disk, having a main element which is manufactured in particular from grey cast iron and which has at least one wear protection layer applied to the main element and at least one intermediate layer situated between the wear protection layer and the main element. It is provided that the intermediate layer is a metallic intermediate layer applied by laser deposition welding.

The disclosure relates to a friction brake body for a friction brake of a motor vehicle, in particular a brake disc, wherein the friction brake body comprises a base body made from gray cast iron, and at least one wear resistant layer formed at least in areas on the base body. The wear resistant layer is a laser alloyed or laser dispersed edge layer of the base body and comprises at least one additive.

A friction brake body for a friction brake of a motor vehicle, in particular a brake disk, includes a base body made in particular from gray cast iron and having at least one wear resistant layer formed on a friction contact surface of the base body. The wear resistant layer is made from ferritic-austenitic steel and includes an incorporated hard material particle, in particular finely distributed hard material particle.

A laminated dimpled foil metallic heat shield may have a cylindrical structure with an outer diameter and an inner diameter comprising a first metallic layer defining the outer diameter, an inboard edge and an outboard edge of the laminated dimpled foil metallic heat shield assembly, a second metallic layer defining the inner diameter of the laminated dimpled foil metallic heat shield assembly, and a first dimpled foil layer extending about a first circumference between the inner diameter and the outer diameter.
