Abstract
A friction disc comprises continuous longitudinally co-extensive generally parallel glass strands wound spirally in the plane of the disc; short, generally parallel glass strands extending normal to the plane of the disc along said spiral; non-ferrous metal chips or wires; and a heat curable cement binding said glass strands and non-ferrous metal chips or wires together. The friction disc is made by forming a glass fabric with warp rovings of continuous parallel glass strands and fill rovings of continuous parallel glass strands; impregnating the fabric with a heat curable cement; winding the glass fabric onto a mandrel to form a spirally wrapped cylinder; slicing the cylinder into disc preforms; and molding the disc preforms under heat and pressure. Either non-ferrous metal wires are included in the fabric or non-ferrous metal chips are deposited on the fabric prior to wrapping the fabric onto the mandrel.
