IT was announced on Monday that a 1 new company, Morgan-Mintex. Ltd., had been formed by The Morgan Crucible Co., Ltd., and British Belting and Asbestos, Ltd., to manufacture sintered friction materials which will be sold under the registered trade name of Sinterlink. World marketing is to be handled by the lVfiritex Division of British Belting and Asbestos, Ltd.
Sinterlink consists principally of sintered-bronze particles which provide good friction and at the same time transfer heat rapidly through the lining and metal-to-metal bond to the backing plate. Small particles of free lead and graphite in the material give a measure of dry lubrication, and by the sintering process the incorporation of frictionraising additions, such as ceramic particles, is possible.
Advantages claimed for the new material over conventional friction materials include ability to withstand far higher temperatures without fade, low wear rate and the use of thinner linings for a given torque. The stable coefficient of friction and constant friction value of Sinterlink added to these factors make it ideally suited for use in power-transmission clutches and protection clutches. Complete clutch plates are available in a range of sizes and in various grades for. different duties,
