Metagliss specializes in the design and manufacture of self-lubricating friction plates, thanks to its expertise in powder metallurgy. Self-lubricating friction plates are manufactured by sintering metal powders. They are an innovative solution for improving industrial performance.
Self-Lubricating friction plates :
an innovative solution.
An innovative solution that integrates continuous lubrication into the component, thanks to a microporous structure that gradually releases oil. The advantage of these plates is that they do not require the addition of external lubricants, and enable the performance of mechanical systems to be greatly optimized.
The industrial applications are very varied, ranging from general and industrial mechanics to high-tech industries such as aeronautics.

Manufacturing process for
Self-Lubricating friction plates.
Self-lubricating friction plates are made by sintering metal powders, usually bronze. The resulting structure is a microporous part that can absorb oils.
Powder preparation & forming
The process is based on powder metallurgy, enabling the creation of parts with a high degree of precision and a porous structure. First comes the selection and preparation of metal powders, often bronze. These are mixed with special additives, notably lubricants.
Sintering phase
The metallic powders are compressed to form parts close to their final shape. Once compressed, the parts are heated to a temperature below the melting point. During this phase, diffusion bonds the metal particles together, while maintaining the porosity essential for lubricant storage and release.
Post-treatment & finishing
After sintering, additional treatments are applied to the plates. Plates can be impregnated with specific oils and sometimes coated with a film of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) for optimum performance in the most demanding industrial environments.
