ABSTRACT:
An endless metal belt assembly is made with opposing adjacent belt surfaces that may contain a roughened surface containing protuberances, indentations and/or pits and are configured such that a lubricant can be held and circulated between the adjacent surfaces. The roughened surface may be formed by an electroforming process in which one or more components of the electroforming bath and the operating parameters of the electroforming bath are adjusted to create the protuberances, indentations and/or pits. A belt assembly formed in this manner is useful as a driving member for a continuously variable transmission.
