20110277869 | PRODUCTION OF A FIBROUS STRUCTURE WITH VARIABLE THICKNESS BY 3D WEAVING - A method of making a fiber structure by multilayer three-dimensional weaving, the fiber structure having a thickness in a direction perpendicular to the warp and weft directions that varies along the warp direction while conserving the same number of warp yarns that are woven at all points of the fiber structure along the warp direction, wherein during a transition in the warp direction from a first portion of the fiber texture to a second portion of the fiber texture having a thickness that is greater than the thickness of the first portion, the number of warp planes is decreased and the number of layers of warp yarns is increased without changing the number of warp yarns, by constituting at least one warp plane in the second portion with warp yarns taken from at least two different warp planes in the first portion. | 11-17-2011 |
20110293828 | METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A COMPLEXLY SHAPED COMPOSITE MATERIAL PART - A method of fabricating a complex part out of composite material including three-dimensional woven fiber reinforcement densified by a matrix, the method including three-dimensionally weaving a continuous fiber strip including a succession of fiber blanks for preforms of a plurality of parts that are to be fabricated; subsequently cutting individual fiber blanks out from the strip, each blank being a one-piece blank; shaping a cut-out blank to obtain a one-piece fiber preform having a shape that is close to the shape of a part that is to be fabricated; consolidating the preform in the desired shape; and densifying the consolidated preform by forming a matrix by chemical vapor infiltration. | 12-01-2011 |
20120055609 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING A TURBOMACHINE BLADE MADE FROM A COMPOSITE MATERIAL - A method of fabricating a composite-material turbomachine blade having platform incorporated therein includes separately making a blade platform element that comprises rigidified fiber reinforcement and that has a shape close to that of a platform of the blade to be fabricated, with at least one opening being formed through the platform element. The opening has the shape of the profile of the airfoil of the blade to be fabricated. Three-dimensional weaving is used to make a flexible fiber blank as a single piece that includes blade airfoil-and-root preform portions. The platform element is engaged, via its opening, on the flexible fiber blank while deforming it so as to assemble the platform element with the fiber blank. The fiber blank is shaped together with the platform element assembled thereon to obtain a blade preform of a shape that is close to the shape of the blade to be fabricated. After shaping, the blade preform is consolidated in its shape in a shaper. Additionally, final densification of the consolidated blade preform is performed in order to obtain a composite-material blade having an incorporated platform. | 03-08-2012 |
20120063912 | PROCESS FOR SMOOTHING THE SURFACE OF A PART MADE OF CMC MATERIAL - A method of smoothing the surface of a ceramic matrix composite material part that presents a surface that is undulating and rough. The method includes depositing a refractory vitreous coating on the surface of the part, the vitreous coating essentially containing silica, alumina, baryte, and lime. | 03-15-2012 |
20120073306 | GAS TURBINE COMBUSTION CHAMBER MADE OF CMC MATERIAL AND SUBDIVIDED INTO SECTORS - An assembled annular combustion chamber comprises an annular inner wall and an annular outer wall made of ceramic matrix composite material together with a chamber end wall connected to the inner and outer walls and provided with orifices for receiving injectors. Elastically-deformable link parts connect the inner wall and the outer wall of the chamber to inner and outer casings that are made of metal. The assembly formed by the inner wall, the outer wall, and the combustion chamber end wall is subdivided circumferentially into adjacent chamber sectors, each sector being made as a single piece of ceramic composite material and comprising an inner wall sector, an outer wall sector, and a chamber end wall sector. The link parts connect the inner metal casing and the outer metal casing respectively to each inner wall sector of the combustion chamber and to each outer wall sector of the chamber. The chamber end wall sectors are in contact with a one-piece ring to which they are connected. | 03-29-2012 |
