METHOD FOR PRODUCING A FRICTION LINING AND FRICTION LINING
The invention relates to a method for producing a friction lining for a friction clutch and a correspondingly produced friction lining (1) comprising a lining material (3) pressed onto a carrier plate (2) and comprising rivet bottoms (11, 12) in the carrier plate in a plurality of rivet openings (9, 10) distributed over the circumference, the rivet bottoms surrounding said rivet openings. In order to be able to affix the rivets to the rivet bottoms to fasten the friction lining to the lining spring segments of a clutch disk at tight tolerance clearance and constant strength of the carrier plate and nevertheless to be able to produce a friction lining simply, the rivet openings and rivet bottoms are covered with lining material during the pressing of the friction lining and then are released from the lining material without remainder and without removing material from the carrier plate.
