  • Publication number: 20110143089
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a mechanical component, and winding device to implementing the method. The component includes at least one insert of metal matrix composite, within which matrix ceramic fibers extend, the composite insert obtained from a plurality of coated filaments each including a ceramic fiber coated with a metal sheath. The method manufactures an insert preform by winding a bonded lap or bundle of coated filaments about a cylindrical component. At least some of the winding is performed in at least one rectilinear direction. The method further inserts the insert preform in a first container; performs hot isostatic compaction of the first container; and machines the first container to form a rectilinear insert.

  • Publication number: 20100291339
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a mechanical component comprising at least one insert made of metal matrix composite, within which matrix ceramic fibers extend, the composite insert being obtained from a plurality of coated filaments each comprising a ceramic fiber coated with a metal sheath, the method involving manufacturing at least one insert with a step of winding a bonded lap or bundle of coated filaments about a component of revolution. According to the invention, at least some of the winding is done in a rectilinear direction. The invention also relates to a mechanical component thus obtained and to a winding device designed for implementing the method of manufacture according to the invention.
