  • Patent number: 9464336
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a martensitic stainless steel including: 1) heating steel to a temperature higher than austenizing temperature of the steel, then quenching the steel until a hottest portion of the steel is at a temperature less than or equal to a maximum temperature, and greater than or equal to a minimum temperature, a cooling rate being sufficiently fast for austenite not to transform into a ferrito-perlitic structure; 2) performing a first anneal followed by cooling until the hottest portion of the steel is at a temperature less than or equal to the maximum temperature and greater than or equal to the minimum temperature; 3) performing a second anneal followed by cooling to ambient temperature; and at the end of each of 1) and 2), performing: ?) as soon as temperature of the hottest portion of the steel reaches the maximum temperature, immediately heating the steel once more.

  • Patent number: 8657647
    Abstract: A device for polishing centrifugal impellers for a turbomachine including a vat configured to be filled with a polishing agent, and an impeller support configured to make the impeller rotate around its axis and move it along its axis such that all of points of the impeller have a helical movement whereof the pitch is close to that of the helix from which the general shape of the airflow channels of the impeller comes, delimited by the blades of the impeller.

  • Patent number: 7584546
    Abstract: Device for checking the alignment of a water jet in a water-jet cutting system, comprising means for positioning an annular element at the outlet of a focusing tube, at some distance from this outlet and aligned with respect to the axis of this focusing tube, this annular element having an internal diameter equal to that of the internal channel of the focusing tube.

  • Patent number: 7059832
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotation-locking device of a sector of rectifier blades (5) mounted in a sector of the turbojet housing. A sector of blades comprises a support base (3). A housing sector comprises two recesses perpendicular to the axis of the housing, each receiving an edge (34-1, 34-2) of the support base. At one and the same axial end of the housing sector, each recess opens out into a seat (30-1, 30-2) defining an axial face (32-1). The device comprises an axial stop (26) adapting itself on each side in the seats (30-1; 30-1) of the two recesses, and once the complementary sector of the housing is installed and during operation of the turbojet, bearing on the axial faces (32-1) under the thrust of the complementary sector of rectifier blades in order to provide rotation locking.
