Abstract:
A circular needling table for needling a textile structure made from an annular fiber preform, includes: a horizontal top on which an annular fiber preform is to be placed; a driver system constructed and arranged to drive the fiber preform in rotation about a vertical axis of rotation; and a needling device for needling the fiber preform, the device including a needling head extending over a predetermined angular sector of the table top and to be driven with vertical reciprocating motion relative to the table top, and a mover system constructed and arranged to move the needling head in a direction that is radial relative to the axis of rotation of the fiber preform.
Abstract:
A honing tool (1) for honing a cylindrical external surface (2) of a rod (3). The tool comprises a plurality of honing inserts (4) adapted to hone a metal; and a support (5) for the honing inserts. The inserts (4) are carried by the support (5) and define a passage (6) around which the inserts (4) are to be found and in which the cylindrical external surface (2) of the rod (3) is insertable. The tool (1) includes a plurality of sliding skids (7) carried by the support (5), the sliding skids (7) and the honing inserts (4) being arranged to be capable of coming simultaneously into contact against the cylindrical external surface (2) of the rod (3) when the rod is placed inside said passage (6) and so as to be able to center the cylindrical external surface (2) inside said passage (6).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a brake actuator for an aircraft hydraulic brake, which is intended to be added into one of the cavities of a brake ring, the actuator comprising: a liner (1) designed to be housed sealingly in the cavity of the ring; a piston (3) mounted to slide sealingly in the liner along an axis of sliding so as to apply a braking force when a fluid is introduced under pressure into the cavity; a wear compensation device (10) which defines a position to which the piston retreats into the liner by means of a mobile stop (11; 111) that can be moved forward by the piston as a braking force is applied; an elastic return member (18) returning the piston towards the retracted position bearing against the mobile stop; according to the invention, the mobile stop is associated with a notched indexing member (13) allowing the mobile stop to move under the thrust of the piston, but preventing any return motion of the mobile stop with respect to the liner.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating an element (25) out of composite material, the element comprising three arms (22, 23, 24) arranged in a triangle. The method comprises the operations of: fabricating a three-dimensionally woven preform from reinforcing fibers and including through slots defining two arms (22, 23) and two half-arms that are all parallel and contiguous in pairs, each arm (22, 23) having one end whereby it is connected to a half-arm and another end whereby it is connected to the other arm (22, 23); shaping the preform by deploying it and by uniting its two half-arms in order to give it a triangle configuration; securing together the half-arms by stitching with reinforcing fibers; and injecting resin into the preform and polymerizing the resin.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of using and renovating a brake disk (9), the method comprising steps of using the disk in a plurality of lives and compensating for a reduction in the thickness of the disk after each life by assembling the disk with a complementary portion or by associating the disk with another disk of rotor or stator type if the disk is itself respectively of stator or rotor type.
Abstract:
A method of coating the surface of a metal substrate includes a) applying a first composition on the surface of a metal substrate, the first composition being a solution comprising a liquid medium including sol-gel precursors of alcoxysilane type or of metallo-organic type; b) subjecting the first composition to first heat treatment to form an anchor layer on the metal substrate in which the sol-gel precursors are bonded to the metal substrate, a first temperature being imposed during the first heat treatment that is sufficient to eliminate all or part of the liquid medium and to encourage the bonding of the sol-gel precursors to the metal substrate; and c) applying a second composition on the anchor layer. The second composition includes coating compounds to obtain a coating on the anchor layer by forming bonds between the sol-gel precursors and the coating compounds.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a part (1) comprising a metal substrate (Sub) at least partially covered in a coating layer (Rev). The method comprises: preparing (A) a surface of the substrate (Sub) to obtain a prepared surface of roughness Ra lying in the range 0.6 μm to 1.6 μm, and; forming (C) the coating layer (Rev) on the prepared surface of the substrate, this coating layer (Rev) being formed by spraying, using an HVOF type spraying method to spray a powder mixture containing grains (G) of metal carbide, the grains (G) having dimensions that are strictly less than 1 μm and the thickness (Epmin) of the coating layer (Rev) as formed in this way being less than 50 μm; then finishing at least one surface of said coating layer (Rev) by polishing (D) in such a manner as to ensure that its roughness Ra is less than 1.6 μm.
