A friction disk includes a friction disk core having an inner diameter edge, an outer diameter edge, and a first surface with multiple mortises extending radially across the first surface, each of the multiple mortises having a different dimension at the inner diameter edge than at the outer diameter edge. The friction disk further includes a first wear liner having two wear liner segments each including a wear surface and a non-wear surface having a tenon with a complimentary shape to each of the multiple mortises, the tenon being configured to be received by a corresponding mortise of the multiple mortises to couple the wear liner segments to the friction disk core to form an annular liner.

A friction disk of a braking system may include a friction disk core and a first wear liner. The friction disk core has an outer surface that defines a recess extending gradually inward from the outer surface, according to various embodiments. The wear liner mates to the outer surface of the friction disk core and includes a wear surface and a first non-wear surface, according to various embodiments. The first wear liner further includes a notch extending gradually outward from the first non-wear surface of the wear liner, according to various embodiments. In an installed state, the notch is received within the recess, according to various embodiments.
