Arrays having a support structure and a plurality of connecting elements are described. Each connecting element is associated with at least one holding arm integrally linking the connecting element to at least one of (a) the support structure and (b) one or more of the other connecting elements. The connecting element of these arrays include a metal substrate having joining surfaces on opposite sides, where each joining surface has hard particles fixed on the metal substrate by a binder layer. Processes for producing such arrays and using the connecting elements are also described.

Process for making a connecting element for the friction-increasing connection of components, and use of a connecting element

The present disclosure relates to a frictional connection comprising a connecting element and two components, the two components being frictionally joined with the connecting element. The present disclosure further relates to a process for making said frictional connection.

Frictional connection of components and process for making a frictional connection

The present disclosure relates to a connecting element and to a process for producing said connecting element. The present disclosure further relates to a connecting system and a device comprising said connecting element, and to a process for fixing said connecting element to a first component. The present disclosure further relates to the use of said connecting element and connecting system for friction-increasing connection of a first and a second component in energy generation, specifically in wind turbines and hydropower turbines, and in machine, plant, motor vehicle and aircraft construction.

Connecting system for friction-increasing connection of components, process for fixing a connecting system to a component and use of a connecting element

The present disclosure relates to a connecting element and to a process for producing said connecting element. The present disclosure further relates to the use of said connecting element for friction-increasing connection of components to be joined in machine, plant and motor vehicle construction and energy generation.
