Abstract
A clutch plate member for operating in a fluid medium to transmit torque to a metal mating surface situated on an opposing clutch plate member in a wide range of slip speeds. The clutch plate member is constructed of a friction facing layer consisting of thermoset resin bonded carbon particles bonded to a compliant carrier sheet which is in turn bonded to a metal support plate. The compliant carrier sheet improves the conformability of the friction facing layer to the metal mating surface resulting in a reduction in the maximum operating temperature of the friction facing layer.
