Production of friction products

Friction products are components of mechanisms designed to transmit force by creating friction between two surfaces. They are used in a variety of industries, including automotive, oil and gas, electronics, aviation, and others. Friction products usually consist of two parts: friction and counter-friction, and provide the transmission of torque between two relatively moving parts of the mechanism.

Friction products can be made from a variety of materials, such as metals, ceramics, polymers, and composite materials. The choice of material depends on the specific application area, where the requirements for strength, wear resistance, resistance to high temperatures and chemical resistance are solved.

One of the methods of production of friction products is powder metallurgy. This method makes it possible to manufacture complex shapes with high precision and production efficiency. After production, the friction and anti-friction are combined with the binding material and pressed into the appropriate shape and size. The part is then subjected to processing, including heat treatment and machining, which allow the required properties to be achieved.

Recently, friction products are used in various new technologies, for example in electric cars, where they play an important role in the transmission of torque between the electric motor and the wheels.
