Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides a wet-friction material capable of extensive continuous sliding performance at very low slipping speeds without inducing shutter, squawk or chuggle. The present invention includes a friction material having a woven carbon fabric to which a resin, preferably a phenolic resin, has been applied. The phenolic resin is entirely contained within the strand and the strands are intentionally incompletely filled. This combination provides for maximum open area texture for gross flow and drainage, microporosity or microtexture for the destruction of any potential hydrodynamic films and at the same time provides an extremely strong and durable structural composite. The friction material may include an over and under stacking and integration of the less than completely filled strands which is more than adequate for even the severest loading applications.
