Abstract:
The present invention concerns: a metallic material that can be worn away by abrasion, principally consisting of a metal alloy based on nickel and/or cobalt which is (quasi) free of oxide or of a ceramic and having in its volume, particles of solid lubricant and/or closed pores and/or surface recesses; parts, in particular plates, formed from said material; casings the inner surface of which is at least partially covered with said plates; a process for producing said material.
Abstract:
The invention relates to detecting damage to the rotor of an aircraft engine that includes means for measuring vibration and speed in order to acquire data relating to the speed of the rotor and also to the amplitude and the phase of rotor vibration during a determined flight. The method comprises the following steps: reading said acquired data; calculating a mean vibration vector over a determined rotor speed range on the basis of said acquired data; calculating a vector difference between the mean vibration vector of said determined flight and the mean vibration vector of a reference flight for said rotor speed range; comparing the modulus of said vector difference with a predetermined threshold value; and issuing a warning signal when the modulus of said vector difference exceeds said predetermined threshold value, said steps being performed after said determined flight has been completed.

Abstract:
A preform for a turbine engine blade, comprising a main fiber preform obtained by three-dimensional weaving and comprising: a first longitudinal segment, suitable for forming a blade root; a second longitudinal segment, extending upwards from the first longitudinal segment and suitable for forming an airfoil portion; and a first transverse segment, extending transversely from the junction between the first and second longitudinal segments to a substantially linear distal edge and suitable for forming a first platform; the preform further including at least one attachment tab provided under the first transverse segment at its distal edge, suitable for forming an attachment portion of the platform.
Abstract:
A method for hard-surfacing metal parts for an aircraft turbofan, the method involving the use of a nozzle outputting a laser beam or an electron beam, which is to heat a sprayed powder for hard-surfacing the metal part, the method including positioning the metal part to be hard-surfaced in an enclosure, the top portion of which has an opening; positioning a mobile cover covering the opening of the top portion, the mobile cover having an opening; positioning the nozzle at the opening of the mobile cover; feeding an inert gas into the enclosure; spraying metal powders and emitting the laser or electron beam for hard-surfacing the metal part; moving the nozzle relative to the enclosure along a path for hard-surfacing the metal part, the movement of the nozzle causing the movement of the mobile cover on the top surface of the enclosure.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a rotary assembly for a turbomachine, comprising a disk of which the outer periphery is formed from an alternation of cavities and teeth (12), and blades extending radially from the disk and of which the roots (16) are engaged axially and held radially in the cavities of the disk. According to the invention, the teeth of the disk and the blade roots comprise, at the upstream and/or downstream axial ends of same, axial shoulders (74, 76) disposed circumferentially end-to-end in alternation and together forming a cylindrical surface (78) facing radially towards the inside of the disk.
Abstract:
A fuel injector (10) such as an injector for an annular combustion chamber of a turbine engine, comprising a downstream head (16) having a central outlet (22) and an annular peripheral outlet (24) surrounding the central outlet (22), and an injector arm (12) upstream of the head (16) comprising coaxial central channel (18) and annular channel (20), characterised in that the central channel (18) is in fluid communication with the peripheral outlet (24) and the annular channel (20) is in fluid communication with the central outlet (22).
Abstract:
A balanced turbomachine part including one angular sector arranged to form a balancing ring centered about a ring axis. The angular sector includes a plurality of fasteners, a bearing face having a complementary shape to the balancing ring, the angular sector bearing on the bearing face. The part further includes a plurality of balancing masses each fastened to the corresponding fastener of the angular sector, at least one of the balancing masses also acting as a fastener for fastening the angular sector on the bearing face.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a fixing device for fixing a first part and a second part together. The fixing device may include a nut non-rigidly coupled to the first part. The first part may have a fixing flange with at least one orifice positioned to accept a threaded shank coupled to the second part. A retainer may be proximate an inner diameter of the at least one orifice positioned to retain the nut within the fixing flange before the nut is screwed onto the threaded shank. The nut may have an externally threaded portion which may couple to the internally threaded portion of the orifice in the flange or of an element attached to the flange and to pass completely through the internally threaded portion until it is housed in a cavity for axially retaining the nut. Therefore, the nut may rotate freely before it is fastened to the threaded shank. The disclosure also relates to a turbomachine that utilizes this device and to an associated fixing method.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a turbomachine casing (1) comprising: a hub (2), an outer shroud (3), and yokes (11) projecting from the outer shroud (3), for attaching the housing (1), characterized in that it comprises at least one stiffener (10) extending between pairs of yokes (11) facing each other, and comprising a central part (18) and side arms (19) projecting from the central part (18).
