Abstract
A method of producing a friction component of a multilayer structure in which each layer can be formed so as to have a specified thickness. The method includes the steps of: using a slide plate having a void of a predetermined shape formed therein in such a way that an output port is open over the void in the slide plate, moving the slide plate in the horizontal direction to allow the output port to be used as a leveling plate to sufficiently fill the void with the powdery material, moving the void beneath a molding box, feeding a predetermined amount of final powdery material into the molding box; and executing either pressurization or a combination of pressurization and heating between a plunger and a fixed mold to temporarily mold or mold a friction component of a multilayer structure.
