Abstract: An assembly for manufacturing a wax moulding of a turbine engine blade has a wax injection mould in which a core is able to be mounted in a predetermined moulding position, the core including a main element and at least a first secondary element each including at least one functional part and a non-functional part, wherein the non-functional part of the first secondary element includes a rod portion extending in a longitudinal direction of the blade and housed in a first slot of the non-functional part of the main member, the mould including a first internal boss clamping said rod portion at the bottom of the first slot.

Abstract: A ceramic material mold for use in molding a turbine engine blade from a molten metal, the blade including a root, an inner platform, an airfoil, and an outer platform, and the mold including a cavity having the shape of the blade, and an auxiliary grain duct including a first segment and a second segment that is an extension of the first segment, the first segment opening out at one end into a first portion of the cavity forming the root of the blade, and at another end into a second portion of the cavity forming a lip of the inner platform of the blade, the second segment opening out at one end into the second portion of the cavity, and at another end into a third portion of the cavity forming a lip of the outer platform of the blade.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a turbine engine blade (25) comprising a pressure side and a suction side separated from one another by an inner space for the circulation of cooling air, the blade (25) comprising a tip (S) with a closing wall (29) joining the pressure side and suction side walls in the region of this tip (S) in order to define a well shape, the closing wall including through-holes. The closing wall (29) obtained by moulding has a considerable nominal thickness with pits (36, 37) locally reducing this thickness at each through-hole in order to facilitate the removal by chemical etching of alumina rods defining the holes. Since the closing wall (29) thus has a large nominal thickness, it can then be machined in order to form raised patterns or complex shapes inside the well.

Abstract: A core used in the manufacture, by lost-wax casting, of a turbomachine blade, includes a main element and at least one first secondary element, each including a functional part and a non-functional part. The non-functional part of the main element and the non-functional part of the at least one first secondary element are assembled and shaped so as to cooperate with each other by sliding in a longitudinal direction extending between the base and the top of a blade and by rotating around the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: The monocrystalline turbomachine blade according to the invention that is cast and directionally solidified, is disclosed. The blade includes an airfoil with a leading edge, a pressure face, a suction face, a trailing edge, a skeleton and having a longitudinal axis, the faces and having a neck line, respectively a pressure face neck and a suction face neck relative to the adjacent blade in the turbomachine rotor of which it forms an element; an endpiece of the airfoil, such as a heel or a platform, having an airfoil end face, on the stream side, forming an angle with the axis ZZ; and a connection zone between the airfoil and the airfoil end face. The connection zone forms a fattening of the airfoil. The connection zone extends about the leading edge between a point P1 situated on the suction face of the airfoil upstream of the suction face neck and a point P3 situated on the pressure face of the airfoil upstream of the pressure face neck.
