Claim:
1. A method for forming a flexible friction coating construction, said method comprising: melting aluminum or an aluminum alloy to form a molten metal material; dispersing a plurality of abrasive particles throughout said molten metal material to form a mixture; spraying said mixture directly into abutment with a stainless steel wire mesh flexible substrate having apertures defined within the mesh, to form a pre-construction containing molten metal and a plurality of abrasive particles; and hardening of the molten metal of said pre-construction to adhere the plurality of abrasive particles to the flexible wire mesh substrate such that the resulting construction remains flexible, wherein said apertures are smaller than the size of said abrasive particles in order to prevent said abrasive particles from passing through said stainless steel wire mesh flexible substrate.
