Abstract
A method of manufacturing a friction article wherein a fiber material (14) having a continuous and substantially uniform three dimensional matrix which is filled with a slurry (24) made up of fillers, friction modifiers, a reinforcing material and a liquid binder. The filled fiber material is conveyed to a dryer (32) where the volatile solution is evaporated leaving the fillers, friction modifiers, reinforcing material and binder. The filled fiber material (14) is thereafter placed in an oven (50) where a compressive force is applied thereto while the binder is cured to define a second matrix which holds the fillers, friction modifiers, and reinforcing material in the three dimensional matrix.
