Friction element for a disc arrangement, in particular for a torque converter

Nassreibelement (46) which is fixed with a friction plate (49) connectable to a wet clutch, comprising: a first annular surface (46a), which is aligned in a first direction and fixed to the friction plate (49) is connectable; a second annular surface (46b) which is aligned in a second direction which is opposite to the first direction so that the first and second annular surfaces (46a, 46b) form an annular and flat main body having a central opening; and a plurality of recesses (75) formed on said second annular surface (46b) are formed, wherein the recesses from an inner periphery of the second annular surface (46b) to an outer periphery of the second annular surface (46b), wherein each recess (75) has a direction changing portion (78) at a radially central portion, characterized in that the recesses (75) have a V-shape, wherein the V-shape of the recesses in the rotational direction of the Nassreibelements (4.6) is open, so ...
