    Abstract: A tooling for producing a metal product by feed casting, comprising a mold comprising a preheater, an ingot mold (10), a movable bottom that moves in a main direction X and a transition ring interposed between the preheater and the ingot mold (10). The tooling has a clamping ring (12) transmitting a clamping force (F1) to the transition ring (11) oriented towards the ingot mold (10), a holding mechanism that positively locks the clamping ring (12), and an axial relief mechanism configured so as to vary between an inactive state in which the holding mechanism exerts said holding force (F2) on the clamping ring (12) such that the clamping ring (12) exerts said clamping force (F1) on the transition ring (11) and an active state in which the axial relief mechanism resists the action applied by the holding mechanism on the clamping ring in the inactive state.

    Abstract: The invention relates to an extrados structural element made from an aluminum, copper and lithium alloy and a method for manufacturing same. In the method according to the invention, an alloy with composition (in wt %) 4.2 to 5.2 Cu, 0.9 to 1.2 Li, 0.1 to 0.3 Ag, 0.1 to 0.25 Mg, 0.08 to 0.18 Zr, 0.01 to 0.15 Ti, optionally up to 0.2 Zn, optionally up to 0.6 Mn, an Fe and Si content level less than or equal to 0.1% each, and other element with a content level less than or equal to 0.05% each and 0.15% in total, the aluminum is poured, homogenized, deformed hot and optionally cold, placed in a solution at a temperature of at least 515° C., pulled from 0.5 to 5% and annealed. The combination in particular of the magnesium, copper and manganese content with the temperature in solution can reach a very advantageous elasticity under compression limit. Thus, the products according to the invention having a thickness of at least 12 mm have an elasticity under compression limit in the longitudinal direction of at least 645 MPa and an elongation in the longitudinal direction of at least 7%.
