Abstract
Abstract Fluoroelastomers, including ultra high temperature, thermally stable fluoroelastomers, are bonded to a metal backing member by (a) compounding the fluoroelastomers with CaO, (b) curing the fluoroelastomers in contact with a pretreated surface of the metal member, and (c) postcuring the fluoroelastomers/metal unit at elevated temperatures.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
109 words
A high shear and impact resistant friction article useful in clutch assemblies and brake assemblies, comprising a metallic back-up member, a roughened and oxidized surface comprising at least a portion of said metallic back-up member, and a fluoroelastomer selected from the group consisting of copolymers of hexafluoropropylene and vinylidene fluoride, and mixtures thereof, with from about 3 to about 15 parts of calcium oxide per hundred parts of fluoroelastomer evenly dispersed therethroughout, said fluoroelastomer being applied to said roughened oxidized surface and simultaneously cured and in the same operation directly bonded without use of a bonding agent other than said fluoroelastomer-calcium oxide dispersion to said roughened and oxidized surface.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
