Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a composite frion element wherein a powdered solventless thermosetting adhesive is applied to a metal substrate and the product made therefrom. The metal substrate and thermosetting adhesive material are heated to allow the powdered solventless adhesive material to flow but not crosslink. A friction material is applied under heat and pressure to the adhesive material such that the adhesive material crosslinks and a composite friction element is formed.
