Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of manufacturing a plurality of wear liner segments may comprise selecting a number of wear liner segments for a wear liner assembly. The wear liner assembly may be annular in shape. The number of wear liner segments may selected based on minimizing a waste portion of a textile board and/or maximizing a production capacity of a plurality of the wear liner assembly.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing a plurality of wear liner segments, the method comprising: defining a plurality of cutouts on a textile board, each cutout comprising an arcuate shape having an arc angle less than or equal to 180 degrees, the textile board comprising a carbon composite material; cutting the plurality of cutouts out of the textile board; arranging the plurality of cutouts on a tray, each cutout in the plurality of cutouts spaced apart from an adjacent cutout in the plurality of cutouts; and placing the tray in a furnace. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the arc angle of each cutout is the same. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein each cutout in the plurality of cutouts corresponds to a wear liner segment for a multi-disk brake system. 4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising forming a wear liner assembly from a portion of the plurality of cutouts. 5. The method of claim 4 , wherein 360 degrees divided by a number of wear liner segments to form the wear liner assembly is equal to the arc angle of the arcuate shape. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the textile board comprises a carbon composite matrix. 7. A method of manufacturing a plurality of wear liner segments, the method comprising: arranging a plurality of cutouts on a tray for placement in a furnace, each cutout in the plurality of cutouts including an arcuate shape having an arc angle less than or equal to 180 degrees, each cutout in the plurality of cutouts being spaced apart from an adjacent cutout in the plurality of cutouts, and each cutout in the plurality of cutouts comprising a carbon composite material; and placing the tray in the furnace. 8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising forming a wear liner assembly from a portion of the plurality of cutouts. 9. The method of claim 8 , wherein 360 degrees divided by a number of wear liner segments to form the wear liner assembly is equal to the arc angle. 10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the arc angle of each wear liner segment is the same. 11. The method of claim 7 , wherein each cutout in the plurality of cutouts is semi-annular in shape. 12. The method of claim 7 , wherein each cutout in the plurality of cutouts comprises a carbon composite matrix. 13. The method of claim 7 , wherein each cutout in the plurality of cutouts corresponds to a wear liner segment for a multi-disk brake system.
