Abstract

A friction disc includes a backing plate and a plurality of tiles having a trapezoid shape. The tiles are cut from a sheet of friction material such that greater than about 80% of the sheet is utilized in the tiles. The tiles are adhered to the backing plate with a phenolic-based resin. A groove extends between adjacent tiles from an inner diameter side to an outer diameter side.
